WILKES-BARRE Ever the
attorney, Matt Cartwright li-
kened his primary election bat-
tle and eventual upset victory
over 20-year incumbent and
fellowDemocrat U.S. Rep. Tim
Holden to being in trial for
three months.
But in the two months since
the knock-down, drag-out fight
ended with a concession call
from Holden, the Moosic fa-
ther of three has
enjoyed some
down time as he
prepares for the
next opponent
in his quest for a
seat in Congress, Republican
nominee Laureen Cummings.
In the heavily Democratic
17th Congressional District,
redrawn last year to strength-
en the Democrats hold on it
while placing more Republi-
cans in neighboring districts,
Cartwright, 51, is not relaxing
too much.

Matt Cartwright
Laureen Cummings didnt
have to wage a primary battle
against any Republican oppo-
nents. But shes spending the
summer getting her name be-
fore voters and raising money to
mount a challenge to well-fund-
ed opponent Matt Cartwright.
Even with Democrats making
up 56 percent of registered vot-
ers in the 17th Congressional
District, Cummings, 48, of Old
Forge, believes she has a chance
to win because shes running on
the economy and health care re-
form, two things she believes
arethemainissues tovoters this
year.
The Supreme Courts ruling
upholding the Affordable
Health Care Act, or Obamacare,
but recognizing it as a tax, only
helps her cause.
Not only are taxes enor-
mous, but unemployment is
above 8 percent, Cummings
said.

Police helicopter hovered above,
but could not locate the victim.
Williams said the search will
resume this morning at 8.
Family members and friends
were gatherednear the scene and
were obviously upset by the sit-
uation. The large group had gath-
ered for a Fourth of July cookout
that turned into a tragedy. Chick-
ens grilling on a large barbecue
pit were gathered into a pan and
covered to be put away.
Im really quite shook up,
Balconis said. Im sick to my
stomach.
Balconis said the river in this
section varies in depth. He said
its shallow near shore, but drops
off to 8 to 10 feet and strong cur-
rents run under the surface.
If you swim in this river you
shouldwear a life jacket, he said.
You can still have fun.
Balconis said a man called him
over and said his buddy had gone
under. He said they all kept
searching, but to no avail.
He must have gotten tired,
Balconis said.
Exeter Township police were
first to respond. Other groups as-
sisting at the scene included Ger-
mania Hose Company, Mount
Zion Rescue, Tunkhannock Boat
Rescue, Harding Police and Res-
cue, and police and rescue per-
sonnel from West Wyoming,
Wyoming, West Pittston, Exeter
Borough and Lake Winola.
The rescue boats and crews
and divers entered the river from
the Apple Tree boat launch and
headedupriver tothe spot where
the man was said to have been
swimming.
After searching for 4 hours,
the search was called off due to
darkness and the threat of a thun-
derstorm.

WILKES-BARRE -- According to

woman were unharmed after
becoming separated while watch-
ing Wednesday evenings fireworks
display while kayaking on the
Susquehanna River in the area of
the Market Street Bridge.
According to witnesses at the
scene, the man was sighted in the
water around 10 p.m. trying to get
back into a kayak.
Officials later said the man was
swimming in the area of his kayak
looking for the woman, whom he
believed was lost in the water.
Witnesses say the man left the
kayak at least two times to search
for the woman until crews from
the Kingston Township Fire De-
partment located her further
down the river and lead her back
to the Nesbitt Park boat launch
area.

ale Taylor, 4, of Edwardsville, gets fitted for a bicycle helmet by HKQ Kids representa-
tive Sally Stravinski, left, as his mom, Jennifer Jasper, watches on at Kirby Park on
Wednesday afternoon. This was the fifth annual Bike Helmet Giveaway sponsored by the
law firm of Hourigan, Kluger and Quinn. The booth was open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., handing out
free helmets to children12 and under accompanied by an adult. Project coordinator Sue
Greenfield said 1,200 bike helmets were available and more would be ordered if needed.
Greenfield said an extra 500 to 600 helmets are ordered by the end of the day. She also
noted that once a helmet has hit the ground, it is no longer safe and should be thrown
away. Even if the outside looks fine, the inside that absorbs the blow has been compro-
mised and it should be tossed, Greenfield said. Thats why we try to have this every year.
All helmets to be distributed Wednesday were purchased from a manufacturer approved
under U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission standards, and each comes equipped
with a users manual and CPSC label of certification, she said. Attorney Michelle M. Quinn,
spokeswoman for HKQ Kids, said Pennsylvania law requires kids under 12 to wear helmets,
but many ride their bikes without them. At HKQ Kids, we want all the kids in our commu-
nities to have helmets because we know they will prevent serious injuries and save lives,
she added.

WYOMING The wool uniforms are
hot, the muzzle-loaded muskets heavy, the
time in the spotlight exceptionally brief,
but West Wyoming resident and Revolu-
tionary War-era re-enactor Terry Salek
puffed on his period-piece pipe and looked
the epitome of equanimity.
I love the history, Salek said as he and
others from the 24th Connecticut Militia
Regiment waited to fire a
tribute volley during the
annual commemorative
service of the Battle of
Wyoming.
I always huntedwitha
flintlock, thats howI met
people from the 24th
Connecticut local unit. I
knewI wanted to be a big
part of it.
The July 4th service,
marking the 234th anni-
versary of what many call
the Massacre of Wyom-
ing, began with lively a
concert by the Wyoming
Valley Band, turned so-
lemn with the presenta-
tion of numerous floral
tributes laid before the
monument by represen-
tatives of community
groups and descendants
of battle survivors, and
was topped by a keynote
speech by Pennsylvania
Historical and Museum
Commissioner William
Lewis.
Throughit all, the re-enactors mulledoff
to the side, generally in the shade of the
large trees that dot the monument site
trees that were reduced by three recently,
Wyoming Monument Association Presi-
dent Marcella Starr pointed out during a
speech she promised would be Shorter

Starr said three grand old trees had been
taken down after consultation with urban
forester Vinnie Cotrone, who noted the
three were at risk of falling on the recently-
restored monument. Shortly after they
were removed, Starr noted, a storm blew
through that felled one tree and broke a
branch off another near the back of the
monument property.
Salek and fellow re-enactor Frank Prus-
sia of Mt. Cobb talked of the motivation
that makes them give up many weekends
and usually a small fortune to pursue their
hobby. Everythings custom made. This
gun alone cost $3,000, he said holding out
the 10-pound, 46-inch-barrel-long replica.
Prussia saidhis great-grandfather fought
in the battle of Wyoming. Most re-enact-
ors, he added, have similar connections..
During its long wait, the militia mingled
with Standard Guard of the 109th Field Ar-
tillery First Battalion, presenting a mix of
modern professional soldier in dress uni-
form toting M-16 rifles, and re-enactors
with musket and blunderbuss.
After Lewis spoke about the architect be-
lieved to have designed the obelisk monu-
ment Thomas Walker, whowent ontode-
sign the Capitol dome in Washington, D.C.
the militia had its moment, firing a sin-
gle, smoke-filled volley into the air.

WILKES-BARRE Mayor
Tom Leighton said more than
30,000 people turned out at
Kirby Park on Wednesday for
the citys July 4th celebration.
Whatever the actual number,
there was no doubt that thou-
sands filled the park, sitting on
blankets and folding chairs
awaiting the traditional fire-
works display provided by
Pizza Paul Pyrotechnics.
The Northeastern Penn-
sylvania Philharmonic per-
formed with guest singer Katie
Williams and included a trib-
ute to the late state Sen. Char-
les Lemmond.
Across the way, a carnival
attracted even
more people
and vendors
lined the
parks main
road, selling
everything
from funnel
cakes to tem-
porary tat-
toos, arts and
crafts, lemon-
ade, jewelry,
chicken, pizza and pina cola-
das. Games of chance offered
stuffed animals and gold fish
as prizes.
The atmosphere was a cross
between Woodstock and the
Bloomsburg Fair, and the heat
and threat of a thunderstorm
didnt chase many to their
vehicles.
Its a great day for the city,
Leighton said. Its a great
crowd and a great event.
At one point, the mayor had
to interrupt the Northeastern
Pennsylvania Philharmonic to
make an announcement that a
2-year-old girl was lost. City
police and volunteers made
their way through the crowd
until the childs parents were
found and the family was re-
united.

WASHINGTON If you have
military-age children who have
not served in this decades wars,
then you owe a debt meaning
money to those who did.
Thats the premise of a new fun-
draising effort by three wealthy
American families who want to
help U.S. veterans of the conflicts
in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Every non-military family
shouldgivesomething, theysaid.
The affluent should give large
sums. Noone shouldthinkof it as
charity, but rather a moral obliga-
tion, an alternative way to serve,
perhaps the price of being spared
the anxiety that comes with hav-
ing a loved one in a war zone.
We have three able-bodied,
wonderful, wonderful children,
all of whom are devoted to doing
very, very good things around so-
cial justice; and we could not be
more proud of them, said Philip
Green, a local businessman who
devised the fundraising idea.
Were alsodelightedthat none of
them had to serve in Iraq or Af-
ghanistan.
Green says he and his wife
came to look at that as unfair: I
realized that there were parents
just like me down the street,
down the block ... who did not
have that luxury and were suf-
fering sleepless nights and anxie-
ty, which I was able to avoid.
Green, president of health care
consultancy PDG Consulting,
andhis wife, Dr. ElizabethCobbs,
head of geriatrics at Veterans Af-
fairs Medical Center in Washing-
ton, teamed with two other cou-
ples to start the fund-raising. To-
gether, they donated a total of
$1.1 million. Contributing with
Green and Cobbs were Glenn
Garland, head of Texas-based
CLEAResult energy consultancy,
and wife, Laurie, and Jim Stim-
mel, CLEAResults executive
vice president, and wife, Patty.
They hope to raise $30 million
for five organizations they say are
amongthe best at providingmed-
ical, financial and other help to
veterans, active duty troops and
their families. With the Fourth of
July celebration approaching,
they held a news conference with
one of the five organizations, the
Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of
America (IAVA).
Millions of Americans and
their families have sacrificed so
much in the conflicts and they
have such needs, Stimmel said.
By contrast, so many affluent
Americans have not made a com-
mensurate sacrifice; and they
should.
The issue of unequal national
sacrifice has been a recurring
theme during current and past
conflicts andit always touches on
at least two questions: Who
serves in America and who
doesnt? Whats the responsibili-
ty of those who dont?
Most people arent interested
in joining the military. A recent
Pentagon survey shows only 18
percent of American youths say
theyll definitely or probably join,
very low compared to decades
ago. Theculturesurroundingser-
vice was transformed in part by
the end of conscription and man-
datory service.
Clearly, young people would
prefer to be doing other things,
said Beth Asch, a senior econo-
mist at RAND Corporation who
specializes in defense manpower
issues.
The military also doesnt want
most Americans. It says 75 per-
cent of the target recruit-age pop-
ulation of 17-24 year-olds is un-
qualified due to health problems
(mostly related to obesity), sub-
stance histories, or too little edu-
cation (no high school diploma).
Inthe end, the Pentagonsays it
has assembled an armed force
pretty much mirroring the socie-
ty it defends. That is, major racial
and ethnic groups make up about
the same percentage of the mili-
tary as they do the society at
large. The same goes for income,
except for households with the
lowest and highest incomes.
Families urged to do their duty
Parents without children in

PHILADELPHIA -- The fed-
eral government last week
went to unusual lengths to as-
sure America that mermaids do
not exist.
Really.
"No evidence of aquatic hu-
manoids has ever been found,"
asserts the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administra-
tion in an item posted June 27
to its website, www.NOAA.gov.
But it gets stranger. Another
federal agency seems to be
muddying the mer-waters.
Search for BelieveInMer-
maids on the web, and the De-
partment of Homeland Securi-
ty appears to have seized that
domain.
Does the government protest
too much? Just why are the G-
men suddenly interested in
mermaids?
NOAAs interest, according
to a spokeswoman, was spurred
by a recently telecast TV show.
On Memorial Day, the Ani-
mal Planet channel aired a doc-
umentary purporting to show
the discovery of a real mer-
maid.
"Mermaids: The Body
Found" was the culmination of
the channels annual Monster
Week, which otherwise focused
on piranhas, killer sharks and
man-eating alligators. Real
creatures all.
And the mermaids episode
was based on fact.
One fact, to be exact: In 1997
two NOAA scientists recorded
a bizarre sound in the Pacific.
Called "The Bloop," the sound
was never identified.
The rest? Well, to put it po-
litely, its less than true.
The faux-umentary purports
to showtwo NOAAscientists as
they go rogue, discover human-
like remains in the belly of a
shark, conclude its a mermaid,
and then are subject to a federal
cover-up.
Never happened, said NOAA.
Then why the denial? Why
post a refutation now?
Short story: The documen-
tary convinced viewers that
mermaids were real.
No, Virginia, mermaids do not exist
Government assures public
there is no evidence of
aquatic humanoids.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
5 U.S. troops are wounded
A
man in an Afghan army uniform
opened fire outside a NATO base in
eastern Afghanistan, wounding five
American soldiers, an Afghan police
official said Wednesday.
The number of insider attacks
against foreign forces in Afghanistan
has increased this year, undermining
the trust between allies and efforts to
prepare Afghan troops to take over
their own security as international
combat troops prepare to withdraw.
The U.S.-led coalition confirmed in a
statement that a number of its service
members were shot and wounded by a
man in an Afghan army uniform Tues-
day in Wardak provinces Sayed Abad
district. It said Wednesday that the
service members were being treated at
a medical facility but did provide de-
tails.
NEW YORK
24 hurt in casino bus crash
A casino bus careened out of control
outside New York City on Wednesday,
sending 24 people to the hospital with
minor injuries and recalling a collision
last year that killed 15 casino-goers just
two miles up the road, authorities said.
It appeared the driver had been go-
ing too fast for the wet conditions, said
New York State police Sgt. John
Maasz. The bus company, Star Tag
Inc., has received four citations for
unsafe driving in the last two years and
every recorded inspection resulted in
vehicle maintenance violations. Most
recently, in May, authorities caught one
of its motor coaches going at least 15
miles per hour over the speed limit,
according to the U.S. Department of
Transportation.
The bus was on an early morning
route from Foxwoods Resort Casino in
Connecticut to Chinatown in Queens
when it struck a center median barrier
on Interstate 95 in New Rochelle,
veered right over three lanes, then slid
about 500 feet along an outer barrier
before stopping.
MONTREAL
Head linked to porn actor
Montreal police confirmed Wednes-
day that a human head found in a park
belongs to a Chinese student who they
say was dismembered by a Canadian
porn actor.
Montreal police spokeswoman Anie
Lemieux said the head belonged to Jun
Lin, who was murdered and dismem-
bered in May.
Luka Magnotta is accused of dis-
membering his lover Lin and mailing
the body parts to Canadian political
parties and schools. He pleaded not
guilty last month.
Lins head was the only remaining
missing body part until Sunday, when
Lemieux said investigators found it in
Park Angrignon after the major crimes
unit received a tip. The park is a few
miles south of Magnottas apartment.
ALLENTOWN
Tenants smoke outside
Residents of public housing in one
eastern Pennsylvania city will have to
light up outside beginning this week as
a smoking ban goes into effect, only
the second such ban by a public hous-
ing authority in the commonwealth
The Allentown Housing Authoritys
ban, which applies to all of its more
than 1,200 housing units and common
areas, doesnt bar residents from smok-
ing but requires that they do so at least
10 feet from an entrance.
An authority survey indicates that 37
percent of residents in the housing
units are smokers.

GENEVAScientistsat theworldsbig-
gest atomsmasher hailed the discovery of
the missing cornerstone of physics
Wednesday, cheeringthe apparent endof a
decades-long quest for a new subatomic
particle called the Higgs boson, or God
particle, which could help explain why all
matter has mass and crack open a new
realmof physics.
First proposed as a theory in the 1960s,
the maddeningly elusive Higgs had been
huntedby at least two generations of phys-
icists whobelievedit wouldhelpshape our
understanding of how the universe began
and how its most elemental pieces fit to-
gether.
As the highly technical findings were an-
nouncedbytwoindependent teams involv-
ingmore than5,000researchers, the usual-
ly sedate corridors of the European Center
for Nuclear Research, or CERN, eruptedin
frequent applause and standing ovations.
Physicists shed tears reflecting on the dec-
ades of work that brought themtothis mo-
mentous occasion.
The newparticle appears to share many
ofthesamequalitiesastheonepredictedby
Scottish physicist Peter Higgs and others
andisperhapsthebiggest accomplishment
at CERNsince its foundingin1954 outside
Geneva alongthe Swiss-Frenchborder.
Rolf Heuer, director of CERN, said the
newly discovered subatomic particle is a
boson, but he stopped just shy of claiming
outright that it is the Higgs boson itself
anextremely fine distinction.
As a layman, I think we did it, he told
theelatedcrowd. Wehavea discovery. We
have observeda newparticle that is consis-
tent witha Higgs boson.
The Higgs, which until now had been
purely theoretical, is regardedas key to un-
derstanding why matter has mass, which
combines with gravity to give an object
weight.
The idea is much like gravity and Isaac
Newtons early theories: Gravity was there
all the time before Newton explained it.
The Higgs boson was believed to be there,
too. And now that scientists have actually
seen something much like it, they can put
that knowledge tofurther use.
The centers atom smasher, the $10 bil-
lion Large Hadron Collider on the Swiss-
Frenchborder, sends protons whizzingina
circle at nearly the speed of light to create
high-energy collisions. The aftermath of
those impacts can offer clues about dark
matter, antimatter and the creation of the
universe, whichmany theorize occurredin
amassiveexplosionknownastheBigBang.
WE HAVE A DISCOVERY. We have observed a new particle that is
consistent with a Higgs boson.

Finding could explain mystery
of why all matter has mass

BEIRUT An al-Qaida-in-
spired group claimed responsibil-
ityfor dozens of attacks across Sy-
ria, the latest evidence that extre-
mists are exploiting the chaos to
make inroads in another Middle
Eastern country.
The Syrian regime has long
blamed terrorists for the 16-
month-old revolt, and the pres-
ence of al-Qaida groups creates
new difficulties for Arab and
Western countries trying to help
force President Bashar Assad
from power.
The opposition and the rebel
Free Syrian Army deny having
any links to terrorism, and say
they do not have the desire or the
capabilities to carry out massive
suicide bombings and other al-
Qaida-style attacks.
OnTuesday, the SITEmonitor-
ing group, which tracks jihadist
chatter on the Internet, said the
Al-Nusra Front released state-
ments on extremist websites in
late June claiming the attacks
were to avenge the killings of Syr-
ians by the government.
One of the attacks targeted a
pro-regime television station in
the town of Drousha, south of the
capital, Damascus, on June 27.
Seven people were killed in the
attack on Al-Ikhbariya TV.
Al-Nusra said the station is an
arm of the regime and the attack
sought to make the station taste
fromthe cup of torture and force
every member of the regime to
wonder: When will my turn
come? The statement included
photos of 11men it said were kid-
napped in the attack.
Al-Ikhbariya is privatelyowned
but often acts as a regime mouth-
piece.
Other attacks in the latest
claim of responsibility include
dozens of armed raids and bomb-
ings including suicide bomb-
ings in Syrian cities.
Little is knownabout Al-Nusra,
although Western intelligence of-
ficials say it could be a front for a
branch of al-Qaida militants from
Iraq operating in Syria. The
group has claimed responsibility
for a string of attacks in Syria, in-
cluding suicide bombings, in the
past.
In February, al-Qaida chief Ay-
man al-Zawahri called on Mus-
lims to support Syrian rebels.
Wounded Syria is still bleed-
ing day after day, and the butcher
(Bashar Assad) isnt deterredand
doesnt stop, al-Zawahri said at
the time. He took over al-Qaida
after Osama bin Laden was killed
by U.S. special forces last May.

George Washington never had
air conditioning, but he knew
how to keep cool: a mansion
with lots of windows elevated
on the banks of a wide, rolling
river andlots of ice cream, may-

It was a little like the olddays
without electricity Wednesday,
as the nations capital region
celebrated Independence Day
the better part of a week into a
widespread blackout that left
millions of residents swelter-
ing in 90-plus degree heat with-
out air conditioning.
Utilities have slowly been
restoring service knocked out
by a freak storm Friday from
the Midwest to the Mid-Atlan-
tic, and at least 26 people have
died in the storm or its after-
math.
At George Washingtons
Mount Vernon estate, one of
the most popular Fourthof July
attractions was a demonstra-
tion of 18th-century ice cream
making, oneof Washingtons fa-
vorite desserts.
As for beverages, Washing-
ton was no stranger to alcohol,
enjoying imported Madeira
wine from Portugal, distilling
his ownwhiskey andenjoying a
fruity brandy cocktail called
Cherry Bounce.
Up the river in Washington,
President Barack Obama also
attended a naturalization cere-
mony at the White House, this
one for active service members

TEL AVIV, Israel -- A Swiss laboratory
confirmed Wednesday that it found an
abnormal amount of polonium-210 on a
pair of underwear used by late Palesti-
nian leader Yasser Arafat.
His widow, Suha, charged the surpris-
ing presence of the rare, highly radioac-
tive element was proof he was poisoned
and hinted Israel was behind it.
But Darcy Christen, the spokesmanfor
the Institute of Radiology in Lausanne,
which tested Arafats personal belong-
ings at Suhas request, said the symp-
toms Arafat suffered from, as described
in his well-kept medical records, were in-
consistent with polonium poisoning.
Describing this as puzzling, he said
the findings were significant, but fur-
ther investigation was needed. That
would mean further tests on his bones.
The PalestinianAuthority saidArafats
body, buried in Ramallah, could be ex-
humed.
There is no religious or political rea-
son that prevents further investigation
into this matter, including exhuming his
bodybya specializedandtrustedpartyat
the request and approval of his family,
said Palestinian President Mahmoud Ab-
bas spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeineh.
Arafat died aged 75 in a military hospi-
tal outside Paris on November 11, 2004,
after a bowel infection that triggered a
bleeding disorder and subsequent brain
hemorrhage.
Before being flown to Paris for treat-
ment, he had been under Israeli siege at
his headquarters in Ramallah.

Dear Reno,
On July 5, 1995 you completed our family. You are
our hope, our joy, our always. You touch so many
lives in such positive ways. Your kind and giving
heart has made the world a better place. You are
the son every parent prays for, the friend everyone
needs, the example everyone points to. You are
trusting to a fault, always seeing the good in people.
Your smile is the sunshine, your imagination the
clouds, your passion the lightning and the rain your
tears. Like a dragony dancing on the wind, you
have morphed from a loving child to a caring teen.
Your spirit soars with the eagles, never to be denied.
While some will measure their lives in hours, days,
months and years, your life is measured by the hearts
you touch and the smiles you shared.
We love you now and forever.
Letter to Our Son,
Reno DiGiacomo, on the
Anniversary of His Birth

DENVER Rains cooled
Colorado wildfires Wednesday,
but more than a dozen wildfires
elsewhere in the West contin-
ued chewing through bone-dry
pine and brush as firefighters
working through the holiday
kept a nervous eye for fireworks
and other hazards.
Wildfires in Wyoming, Utah
and Colorado sent haze and
smoke across Colorados Front
Range, prompting air-quality
health advisories as firefighters
warned of growing fires in spar-
sely populated areas.
In Colorado Springs, there
was good news in the fight
against the most destructive
fire in state history.
Light rains that fell overnight
helped calm the Waldo Canyon
Fire, which has scorched 28
square miles, killed two and de-
stroyed almost 350 homes. Fire-
fighters predicted full contain-
ment of the fire by Sunday, with
more rain, cooler temperatures
and higher humidity predicted
through the weekend.
The forecast wasnt as kind in
eastern Montana, where a mam-
moth 380-square-mile in Custer
National Forest was gobbling
up pine, juniper and sage with
help from gusty winds. The fire
has burned 16 homes.
Firefighters gave the blaze
extreme growth potential,
with wind gusts up to 45 mph
predicted. Temperatures were
expected to reach the 100s.
As firefighting efforts contin-
ued, holiday fireworks were can-
celed across the region. Colora-
do officials were calling off holi-
day displays from Fort Collins
to Colorado Springs, while law
enforcement was warning of
hefty fines for people caught vi-
olating personal fireworks bans
across the region.
Residents in some parched ar-
eas were joining police. In one
Colorado Springs neighbor-
hood, a homemade sign read,
FAIR WARNING: Anyone us-
ing or allowing use of fireworks
in this neighborhood will be
dealt with harshly! And that
doesnt mean just by the po-
lice!
The National Interagency
Fire Center in Boise, Idaho,
which coordinates wildfire-
fighting efforts nationwide, said
45 large fires were burning
Wednesday, including 36 fires
in nine Western states.

away from his loving family and
friends early Tuesday morning, July
3, 2012, at the Geisinger Wyoming

nette Reese Connell. He was born
andraisedinthe East Endsectionof

Coughlin High School, Class of
1972. He went on to acquire his
bachelors degree in accounting at
Kings College, Class of 1976, and
then earned his masters degree in
Accounting and Finance from
Wilkes University in 1982.
Jim was employed for 30 years at
P.G. & W/PG Energy/UGI-PNG.
While there, he held many different
positions until reaching manager of
accounting. Most recently, Jim had
been working as a financial report-
ing analyst at the Guard Insurance
Group, Wilkes-Barre, for two years.
He was a member of St. Elizabeth
Ann Seton Parish, Swoyersville. Be-
fore consolidation, Jim was a faith-
ful member of the Holy Name/St.
Marys Parish Community, also in
Swoyersville. He was a very active
and loyal member of both the
Knights of Columbus, Council No.
302, Wilkes-Barre, and Council No.

ways talking about each of their ac-

godfather and friend to so many

was what so many people remem-
ber about him, always cracking a
joke when he had the chance. Jims

made for a great time. He will be

who knew and loved him.

LONDON Eric Sykes, the
widely-acclaimed British come-
dy actor and writer, died
Wednesday. He was 89.
Sykes was one of the most
popular comic actors of his gen-
eration, ap-
pearing in
shows in Lon-
dons West End
into his 80s. He
began his ca-
reer writing
scripts for BBC
shows, co-writ-
ing 24 episodes
of the classic radio comedy The
Goon Show with the late Spike
Milligan.
He appeared in the Sykes and
a sitcom about a brother and
sister living together in west
London, which ran in the 1960s
and 1970s. He went on to write
and act in theater shows and mo-
vies, including an appearance in
The Others starring Nicole
Kidman and in the Harry Potter
film Harry Potter and the Gob-
let of Fire.
Sykes also wrote scripts for
Peter Sellers and other major
British actors.
Manager Norma Farnes said
that Sykes died following a brief
illness and was with his family
when he passed away, but did
give the cause of his death or
specify if Sykes had been at
home or in a hospital.
TV star and former Monty Py-
thon member Michael Palin said
Sykes was one of the nicest,
most decent men in the business
and one of a kind.
To me, he was a great inspira-
tion, both as a writer and per-
former, Palin said.
Comedian Stephen Fry paid
tribute on Twitter, writing: Oh
no! Eric Sykes gone? An adora-
ble, brilliant, modest, hilarious,
innovative and irreplaceable
comic master. Farewell, dear,
dear man.
Comedy writer Eddie Braben
said Sykes was a monumental
man of comedy, an inspirational
figure for those who aimed for
comedy success. He said Sykes
death leaves an enormous gap
in the field of fun.

WASHINGTONIts thekind
of trip President Barack Obama
relishes one that plays to his
natural political abilities by tak-
ing himoutside of Washington to
mixit upwithAmericans insmall
towns and casual settings.
Obama embarks today on his
first bus tour of the 2012 cam-
paignas he seeks topointedly stir
up more questions about rival
Mitt Romneys business record
and subtly contrast himself with
a Republican opponent who has
struggled to connect with voters.
Dubbed the Betting on Amer-
ica tour, the two-day swing will
take him through several north-
ern Ohio communities that were
critical to his 2008 win in the
state and then to Pennsylvania
for an event in Pittsburgh. Oba-
ma won both states four years
agobut Romney andRepublicans
are competing hard to win them.
The president will campaign in
the both states as the nations lat-
est monthly job-creation assess-
ment is released. Each state had
an unemployment rate of 7.3 per-
cent in May, below the national
average of 8.2 percent.
Four months before the elec-
tion, polls show Obama slightly
leading Romney nationally and
in several states that are critical
in the hunt to reach the 270 elec-
toral votes needed to win the
Nov. 6 election. The race is close
despite a topsy-turvy June that
includedthe Supreme Courts de-
cision to uphold Obamas health
care law and its split decision on
Arizonas 2010 immigration law.
The presidents trip kicks off a
newphase of his re-election cam-
paign as he ratchets up his retail
campaigning this summer before
the September convention in
Charlotte, N.C. Underscoring the
stakes, Obama is forgoing his tra-
ditional summer vacationtoMar-
thas Vineyard, Mass., to focus on
the campaign, though he spent a
long weekend at the Camp David
presidential retreat.
Romney, in turn, was spending
the entire week relaxing with his
family at his lakeside estate in
Wolfeboro, N.H., where hes been
seen taking his grandchildren for
ice cream, jet skiing with his wife
and playing volleyball with his
five sons. Its a personal side of
him the public has rarely seen
duringtwoprimarycampaigns in
which he sometimes came off as
awkward and forced, making
clear that retail campaigning is
not his strong suit.
Obama, conversely, is a charis-
matic campaigner who tends to
easily connect withhis audiences
and draw energy from voters in
diverse venues, frombigrallies to
roadside diners.
The presidents bus tour fol-
lows a six-state bus trip by Rom-
ney through the Midwest last
month that included stops in
Ohio and Pennsylvania. Recent
polls by Quinnipiac University
found that Obama held a 9-per-
centage-point lead over Romney
in Ohio, and a 6-point lead in
Pennsylvania. No Republican has
ever won the presidency without
Ohio, making it a firewall for
Obama. Pennsylvania also gives
the Democratic president a large
900,000-vote registration advan-
tage over Republicans.
Both sides are competing hard
in the states. The presidents
campaign has spent nearly $16
million in television advertising
in Ohio through late June while
the Democratic super PAC Prior-
ities USA Action has spent about
$2.7 million, according to offi-
cials who track ad buys. Rom-
neys campaign has spent about
$5 million but a series of GOP-
leaning outside groups have
spent another $8 million, helping
the Republican blunt Obamas
message.
The presidents itinerary takes
him across the northern, manu-
facturingbelt of Ohiothat has felt
the recessions sting perhaps
more acutely than other parts of
the state. It includes stops at a
museum complex in Maumee
that gives visitors asenseof lifein
the early 19th century, an ice
cream social in a park in Sandus-
ky and an event at a park in Par-
ma, a suburb of Cleveland. T

citizens during a ceremony Wednesday at the White House.
WOLFEBORO, N.H. Mitt
Romney onWednesday saidre-
quiring all Americans to buy
health insurance amounts to a
tax, contradicting a senior
campaign adviser who days
ago said the Republican presi-
dential candidateviewedPresi-
dent Barack Obamas mandate
as anything but a tax.
The majority of the court
said its a tax and therefore it is
a tax. They have spoken.
Theres no way around that,
Romney told CBS News. You
can try and say you wish they
haddecideda different way but
they didnt. They concluded it
was a tax.
Romneys comments
amountedtoa shift inposition.
Earlier in the week, senior ad-
viser Eric Fehrnstrom said
Romney viewed the mandate
as a penalty, a fee or a fine
not a tax.
The Supreme Court last
weekruledthat the mandate to
buy health insurance is consti-
tutional because it can be con-
sidered a tax. The requirement
is part of the broad health care
overhaul that Obamasignedin-
to law in March 2010.
An identical requirement
was part of the state health
care law that Romney enacted
when he was governor of Mas-
sachusetts.
The governor believes that
what we put in place in Massa-
chusetts was a penalty and he
disagrees with the courts rul-
ing that the mandate was a
tax, Fehrnstrom said Monday
on MSNBC.
The law he signed as gover-
nor in 2006 moved Massachu-
setts toward universal coverage
and became a blueprint for Oba-
mas overhaul. But Romney has
spent much of the presidential
campaign shying away from talk-
ing about it, preferring instead to
keep voters focused on the slow
recovery under Obama.
Both measures require individ-
uals to have health insurance,
mandate that businesses offer
health care to their employees
and provide subsidies or exemp-
tions for people who cant afford
it. Both also impose penalties on
people who can afford health in-
surance but dont pay for it.
Yet despite calling Obamas
mandate a tax, Romney insisted
that the court ruling did not
mean that he raised taxes as gov-
ernor of Massachusetts. He said
Chief Justice John Roberts was
clear in the courts 5-4 ruling that
states have the power tomandate
purchases using mechanisms
other than taxes.
Romney also said Obama
broke his promise not toraise tax-
es on middle-class families by
putting the mandate in place.
In the week since the Supreme
Court ruling, Republicans have
criticized Obama by pointing to
the tax and accusing him of rais-
ing taxes. Democrats, mean-
while, have been eager to accuse
Romney of also raising taxes in
Massachusetts. They cite a 2009
opinion piece in which Romney
wrote that Massachusetts estab-
lished incentives for those who
were uninsured to buy insur-
ance. In the piece, he acknowl-
edged that the requirement
amounted to a tax: Using tax pe-
nalties, as we did ... encourages
free riders to take responsibility
for themselves.
Romneys comments to CBS
came in an interview conducted
in Wolfeboro before he marched
in the towns Fourth of July pa-
rade, holding hands with his
wife, Ann. He also was joined by
NewHampshire Republican Sen.
Kelly Ayotte, a possible candi-
date for a running mate.

If you want to eat 65 hot dogs in
10 minutes thats fine, just
dont do it more than once a year
and you wont have a problem.
Michael Bloomberg
New Yorks mayor, whose public health policies often clash with the
fast-food industry, gave his blessing to occasional binge eating when he
spoke this week before the start of the citys annual Fourth of July hot
dog eating contest. He downed a Nathans Famous with mustard.
Raise taxes on the rich
and abolish property tax
S
ummer is here and the living is easy.
Gasoline prices are down to where they
were a year ago, so enjoy because it is
an election year and they will go up right
after the election.
Now for a few questions and an observa-
tion. Mr. Mitt Romney, its not up to the
president to create jobs; thats what corpo-
rations are supposed to do to make money.
Also, Mr. Romney, why are you and the
Republican-led Congress against the presi-
dents plan for the rich to pay the same
amount of taxes as the rest of Americans?
For Pennsylvania politicians: Why, again,
did the Republican politicians block a vote
to eliminate school property taxes by rais-
ing the sales tax by one penny?
In November I will vote out anyone who
does not vote to eliminate property taxes
or raise taxes on the rich.

Instead of complaining,
try investing in America
I
m sick of people complaining about the
debt, jobs, Obama and health care. First,
the debt in this country has to do with
the Federal Reserve; as soon as it lends out
money, its loaned with interest, so in turn
we will never get out of debt. Even if we
gave back all the money in circulation, we
still would be in debt.
Also, Americans like things cheap so we
shop at Walmart, where we dont care
where things were made. Solution: Start
buying things made in America.
Another thing that drives me crazy is
the issue of foreign cars. You live in Amer-
ica; drive an American car. I hear people
say, But they are giving people here jobs.
Thats true, but where does the bulk of the
money go when you buy a foreign car?
Back to China, Japan, Korea and other
nations. So if youre driving a foreign car,
you have no right to complain about the
economy.
That brings me to health care. Prisoners
have better health care than me (with
three jobs). How does that even make
sense?
Some people say: Its going to turn into
Canada; we will be waiting forever for
care. My mother went to the emergency
room the other day and waited eight
hours. So it already has. People with no
insurance get care and never pay the bill,
so that raises rates for everyone else. So if
everyone had health care, our rates actual-
ly would be lower!

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com THURSDAY, JULY 5, 2012 PAGE 11A
SO IT turns out Wilkes-Barre
city governments way of
keeping tabs on the use of its
gas and diesel fuel is to cre-
ate a vapor trail.
Want to know who is
using how much gas driving
where? Follow that tailpipe, because city re-
cords are as useful as a fuel gauge on a Big
Wheel.
When I started helping reporter Terrie
Morgan-Besecker crunch the numbers for her
expos in Sundays edition about the citys
fuelish ways, I figured it would be a few quick
calculations in Excel: Compare daily readings
of the storage tanks with daily logs of how
much gas and diesel were pumped out of
those tanks.
The amount in the tank should drop by the
total that was pumped out each day. If they
werent equal, there would be a daily tally of
how much fuel was unaccounted for.
Except
There werent fuel tank readings for every
day; logs showing how much fuel had been
pumped out had similar gaps; when fuel was
added to the storage tanks, there was no way
to know how much had been added, making it
impossible to reconcile any numbers from
those days; and there were log entries that
didnt say whether the fuel drawn from the
tanks was gas or diesel.
So you had days with no numbers, days
with only half the numbers and days with
useless numbers. There were some days for
which our calculations suggested gas actually
had been pumped from the vehicles into the
storage tank.
It would be comical if you were making, say,
a Marx Brothers movie. Groucho: According
to these records, you pumped fuel into your
car, but made the amount in our tank go up.
Any idea how that happened?. Chico: Oh,
thats an easy one. I drove in reverse all day.
By the time Terrie crunched all the num-
bers, she had nearly 18,000 unaccounted gal-
lons in less than seven months. Thats enough
for Mayor Tom Leighton to drive his Chevy
Traverse rated at 17 mpg city around town
for 1,052 miles which, incidentally, would
only get Leighton through three to five
months of car travel. He told Terrie he drives
200 to 300 miles a month.
Leighton insisted that he saves the city
money by driving his own car fueled by city
gas, rather than charging the going rate of 55
cents per mile. Do the math, he said, its
cheaper.
Great, lets do that math! City records show
that Leighton drove zero miles because he
doesnt submit mileage reports, and that he
pumped zero gallons out of the city fuel tanks
because he doesnt follow city policy and log
how many gallons he takes when he uses the
pump. So as far as we can tell, all his driving
has cost us nothing!
Told of the vast difference between storage
tank readings and pump logs, Leighton
seemed to think the citys vapor trail should
have been more accurate. Im surprised at the
amount of the discrepancy, he said. Perhaps
he figured the discrepancy should have been
only the fuel he pumped out but didnt log.
Lets do that math.
If Leighton drives 200 to 300 miles a month
and we give his Chevy Traverse an average
efficiency of 20 mpg for a mix of highway and
city miles, his failure to log the gas he pumps
out of city storage tanks would account for 10
to 15 gallons worth of discrepancy a month.
Terries numbers showed the city was averag-
ing nearly 2,500 gallons of discrepancy a
month. So the mayors surprise at the
amount of the discrepancy is understan-
dable; who would have thought so many other
people apparently were following his lead and
taking fuel from the tank without logging how
much?
But being surprised at the amount of the
discrepancy requires actually calculating the
discrepancy, and thats the biggest inanity of it
all. The city never even bothered to reconcile
pump log records with tank readings.
Even after it became clear this fiasco could
cost the city thousands of dollars if the feds
launch an investigation, city Administrator
Marie McCormick voiced utter faith in the
vapor trail. Without a scrap of paperwork, she
said the city could reconstruct fuel use.
For instance, we know we have x number
of packers and we know how often they are
used. We could estimate how much gas you
would need in them, suggested McCormick.
There would be those types of things we
could prove.
I might be an old fuddy-duddy stickler for
asking, but ask I must:
When did pulling imaginary numbers out of
seven-month-old exhaust fumes become
proof?

N ON-TIME state
budget withno tax in-
creases and a critical
business-bolstering
tax cut is nothing to sneeze at.
But that doesnt mean every-
thing is hunky-dory with Penn-
sylvanias fiscal 2013 spending
blueprint.
Make nomistake, theres lots
to applaud in the $27.7 billion
plan. Think of the $300 million
in business tax cuts. Think of a
20-county pilot programto bet-
ter allowcounties tomeet their
social service needs.
But an increase in tax collec-
tions was no reason to reverse
proposedandnecessary cuts to
higher education. The specter
of those cuts actually forced
colleges and universities to be-
gin tightening their belts in
earnest. The shillelagh
sheathed, so to speak, does
anyone not expect business to
return to normal?
Thentheres the now-capless
tax credit for ethane. While
some necessary and common-
sense requirements for invest-
ment and job creation have
been added, one is still forced
toaskwhy taxdollars are being
treated as venture capital and
taxpayers as something of an
insurance kitty for an industry
that is being billed as the be-all
and end-all of a new industrial
revolution.
Additionally, a 43 percent in-
crease to cover public school
pensions is a red-flag warning
on the highest mast.
Andwhilewell joinwithoth-
ers in lauding the overall bud-
get effort, well cautionthat the
time is now to start planning
for the toughchoices that must
be made for fiscal 2014.

Budget kicks
can down road
I
T COULD HAVE been
worse. Thats the best that
can be said with certainty
about Pennsylvanias 2012-
13 budget.
Worse was on the table for
months, with Gov. Tom Cor-
betts February proposal that
wouldhave takenbigcuts out of
public school dis-
tricts and state uni-
versities for the sec-
ond consecutive year.
But thespendingplan
enacted by the Legis-
lature and signed by
the governor just be-
fore midnight on Sat-
urday was $500 mil-
lionlarger, at $27.66billion, due
to higher-than-expected reve-
nue collections this spring.
That means Pennsylvanias14
state-owned universities and its
state-related schools includ-
ing Penn State University and
Temple sidestepped a 20 per-
cent cut andinsteadwill receive
the same level of funding they
got in 2011-12.
Similarly, the new budget
keeps funding essentially flat
for public schools whilesending
significantly more dollars to the
districts to cover the cost of
their pension program. Again,
better than a cut in educational
line items, but still a challenge
for districts trying to meet their
obligations to students without
saddling property owners with
higher taxes.
The budget also restored $84
million in allocations to com-
munity-based welfare programs
that had been on the chopping
blockandit extends theagethat
young people in foster care can
receive some support to 21,
from18.
However, overall human ser-
vice programs for the states 67
counties will be cut by 10 per-
cent. Particularly mean-spirited
was elimination of the $150 mil-
lion program that had provided
short-term cash payments of
$200 a month to
help poor, disabled
Pennsylvanians
get back on their
feet.
Hiding details
from the public
could have been
the theme of this
years budget proc-
ess.The actual budget is worked
out behind closed doors by leg-
islative leaders and representa-
tives from the governors office,
and it will be weeks until all of
the ramifications of the enacted
budget are known.
Details will trickle out, long
after lawmakers have aban-
doned Harrisburg for the sum-
mer, onthefull impact of aspate
of measures adopted at the last
minute.
Untouched in all of the last-
minute action was Pennsylva-
nias enormous transportation
funding crisis.
Yes, lawmakers andGov. Cor-
bett enacted the states 2012-13
budget on time and without a
tax increase, the second consec-
utive year thats been accom-
plished. Some Pennsylvanians
will applaud that. But on bal-
ance, given the known cuts, the
unknown details and the unfin-
ished business, its not much to
celebrate.

ed, Cartwright said, sipping cof-
fee Thursday inside the Barnes &
Noble Downtown Joint Student
Book Store after speaking at a ral-
ly against Gov. Tom Corbetts
state budget. People who go in
the voting booth still have free
will.
Since beating Holden, D-St.
Clair, Cartwright has received a
congratulatory call from Vice
President JoeBiden, hosteda fun-
draiser featuring House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi and taken
the family on a vacation to Long
Beach Island, N.J.
And much has happened in
Washington, as well. On Thurs-
day, the Supreme Court upheld
The Affordable Care Act, or Oba-
macare. Cartwright got the news
during the interview and pro-
claimed, Its a great day in Amer-
ica. He said while he has been in
favor of theoverall lawandwhat it
does, he did not feel it went far
enough. He said if elected, he will
work to strengthen the act.
President Barack Obama also
issued an executive order that
will make about 800,000 young
people who were brought to the
United States illegally as children
safe from deportation proceed-
ings, and may make themeligible
for renewable two-year work per-
mits.
The order deepened the divide
between the Republicans in Con-
gress and the Democratic presi-
dent. While Cartwright said the
president is within his rights, its
anexecutive branchfunction, I re-
serve the right to criticize future
actions.
He said hes not for granting
amnesty, but hes also not for
rounding up illegals and deport-
ing them.
This is America. We dont put
12 million human beings in box-
cars and ship themto the coast to
be put on freighters. We dont do
that in this country, Cartwright
said.
Cartwright called the presi-
dents order a stop-gap measure.
Im not thrilled with it but it
moves the issue ahead until Con-
gress cancome together to do the
same.
Cartwright does not share the
presidents opinion on gay mar-
riage, which Obama recently said
he supports.
Cartwright said his views are
evolving too, but with respect to
gay marriage, Im not there yet.
Im very old school and old-fash-
ioned, he said, noting he favors
civil unions. Im not saying Ill
never get there.
Looking to the next few
months, Cartwright has to finish
transitioningcases at thelawfirm
where hes a partner to other at-
torneys and then focus full time
ontheNovember electionandthe
campaigning that precedes it.
While he laughs when asked if
hehasselecteddistrict officeloca-
tions yet, he admits looking into
leasing an RV that could be used
as a mobile district office. Noting
that a lot of constituents in the
district wouldhave to travel great
distances no matter where a dis-
trict office was located, he said a
mobile office would bring staffers
and information to residents.

ment out of their lives, but also,
who refuse to give the IRS even
more power than it already has,
she added. This decision is a ral-
lying cry to elect those of us who
will repeal this law and reform
our Byzantine tax code.
The Supreme Courts ruling
and the presidents other recent
headlines including his executive
order on immigration and depor-
tation, she said, will be front and
center as she campaigns over the
next four months.
His immigration order, halting
deportation of many illegals and
offering two-year work visas for
about 800,000 undocumented
residents, is outrageous, Cum-
mings said. Its unbelievablethat
he did it. It cant stand Its ap-
palling that he does the things
that he does but its not surpris-
ing.
One of the founders of the
Scranton Tea Party, Cummings
said linking Cartwright to Oba-
ma is a goodstartingpoint for her
campaign.
I think its going to be quite in-
teresting, said Cummings, who
owns Lorimar Home Care, a pri-
vate duty nursing and staffing
agency in Old Forge.
She set a campaign goal of rais-
ing $400,000 by September
youre gotta aim high, she said
and noted her committees coff-
ers have about $5,500 as of Fri-
day. Her past few weeks have
been spent fundraising, fun-
draising, fundraising and her
next fewmonths will be spent do-
ing a lot of the same and meeting
voters and party leaders through-
out the district.
The name recognition she
might lack and that Cartwright
might have is not insurmount-
able, she said. We have a lot of
grass roots support, she noted.

es indicates that 91percent of the
commonwealths 8.2 million reg-
istered voters have PennDOT
identification numbers.
This thorough comparison of
databases confirms that most
Pennsylvanians have acceptable
photo ID for voting this Novem-
ber, department secretary Carol
Aichele saidina news release. Of-
ficials noted that the review
wouldnt identify voters whomay
have other acceptable forms of
ID.
Department officials had said
previously that they believedthat
99percent of Pennsylvania voters
already had the photo ID they
will need at the polls in Novem-
ber.
In Philadelphia, 186,830 regis-
tered voters 18 percent of the
citys total registration do not
have PennDot ID, The Philadel-
phia Inquirer said.
The newlawrequires all voters
to show photo ID such as a driv-
ers license or nondriver Penn-
DOT photo ID, U.S. passports,
student identification cards with
expirationdates, current military
identification, or ID cards issued
to government employees.
Officials also noted that of the
758,939 voters who lacked Penn-
DOT identification numbers,
167,566 are inactive voters, most
of whomhavent voted in the last
four years.
. Our experience is, a lot of
these people are former college
students who dont live here any-
more, department spokesman
Ron Ruman told the newspaper.
He said the survey may also have
missed some voters who actually
do have a PennDOT ID.
Republicans who advocated
the law portray it as an effort to
curbvoter fraud, althoughDemo-
cratic critics charge that theres
no evidence of such fraud. They
saythe lawone of the toughest
in the nation is a thinly veiled
effort to suppress the vote for
President Barack Obama in a key
battleground state in the fall elec-
tion and argued that it would dis-
criminate against elderly, poor
and minority voters.
Commonwealth Court Judge
Robert Simpson has scheduled a
July 25 hearing on a challenge to
the law, and an appeal could re-
ach the state Supreme Court be-
fore November.
Philadelphias top election offi-
cial, City Commission Chair Ste-
phanie Singer, told the newspa-
per that thefigures reinforcedher
viewthat the lawwas intendedto
decrease voter turnout in the pre-
dominantly Democratic city. She
said Philadelphia is hit much
harder by this thanany of the oth-
er counties.
Nine other counties Allegh-
eny, Cameron, Centre, Cumber-
land, Delaware, Lackawanna,
Lawrence, Montour, and Union
were reported to have 10 per-
cent to 12 percent of their voters
without PennDOT ID, the paper
said.

and they knew what to expect.
The fireworks are going to be
awesome, Craig said.
The Forty Fort borough coun-
cilman said he has come to Kir-
by Park every year for years for
the show.
Its absolutely required for
the community, he said. Ive
beencoming here since I was 2
Ive never missed it.
Sparklers were being waved
by toddlers and people deep in
the crowd were shouting to
friends trying to find their loca-
tion.
Pat and Karen Simmers of
Kingston returned to the cele-
bration for the first time in a few
years. Their son, Andrew, turn-
ed7 onJuly1andthe family usu-
ally celebrated it on the fourth.
But this year, with the holiday
falling in the middle of the
week, Andrews birthday was on
the weekend.
This is a great turnout, Sim-
mers, 32, said. Its a really great
community event.
With the Simmers family
were Arie and Kristen Van Kuyk
of Kingston. They had their two
children Lizzy, 21months, and
Lilly, 9 months. To get the kids
used to fireworks, they had a
small display Tuesday night and
the kids loved them.
I hope they enjoy what
theyre going to see tonight,
Van Kuyk, 28, said.
Dolores Miller, Mahanoy
City, and Anna Marie Halupa
and Karl Krone of Ringtown,
made the trip because they
heard the Wilkes-Barre fire-
works showwas one of the best.
They were all decked out in
their patriotic red, white and
blue hats and shirts.
Ive been to the area before
and its beautiful, Miller said.
The organizers really put a lot
of effort into this. Its great to
see all of the patriotism here.
Everybody should wave our flag
and let her colors fly.
In the middle of the crowd
Justincredible 16-year-old
magician Justin Davis of Ply-
mouth was making balloon
animals and hats for children.
I try to meet everyones re-
quests, he said. But some-
times they challenge me.
A Martz Trailways bus was in
the middle of the park and two
school buses dropped off groups
for the fireworks show.
Its an amazing turnout,
said Drew McLaughlin, the
citys administrative coordina-
tor. This speaks volumes for
what the city can do to celebrate
the nations birthday.
Leighton made another an-
nouncement this one warning
the crowd that a thunderstorm
was anticipated and could delay
the fireworks. Some people
packed up their chairs and blan-
kets and headed for their vehi-
cles. Izabela and Brian Cohen
and their son, Max, 16, were
hurrying to get to shelter.
Im terrified of thunder and
lightning, Izabela said. Were
going to our car. Hopefully, the
storm wont hit and well be
back to watch the show.
People from throughout the
region braved the threat of a
storm and were treated to a
spectacular show. Many defied
the citys no dogs allowed
rule, but no incidents were re-
ported.
The event was sponsored by
the Luzerne County Conven-
tion and Visitors Bureau, The
Martz Group, The Northeastern
Pennsylvania Philharmonic,
Price Chopper, Frontier Com-
munications, Mericle Commer-
cial Real Estate Services and the
city of Wilkes-Barre.
Chuck Peterman Sr. was sit-
ting on his front porch on Sec-
ond Avenue, Kingston, with
neighbors and family and his
dog, Rebel, a black Labrador re-
triever.
This is the best seat in the
house, Peterman, 78, said. Ive
been watching fireworks from
here all of my life. Its the best
vantage point.
And Peterman had the cover
of his front porch in case of rain.

rumpled outside the batters box
after making last seasons final
out, Ryan Howards grimace
became the face of the Philadelphia
Phillies 2011 collapse.
Can he lift the teams hopes again,
or at least the towns spirit?
Signs of such a scenario are start-
ing to appear at Triple-A Lehigh Val-
ley, where Howard launched his first
home run and drove home four runs
Tuesday during a minor league reha-
bilitation assignment.
Thats the type of production the
struggling Phillies sorely need.
They never got back up after Ho-
ward went down with a torn left
Achilles tendon he suffered while
grounding out to end a first-round
2011 playoff series with the eventual
world champion St. Louis Cardinals.
Since then, the five-time National
League East champion Phillies have
fallen into last place, crippled by an
inept offense thats left them 10
games under .500 and 12 games be-
hind first-place Washington in the
division.
A few hits from Howard can change
that fast.
Since becoming the Phillies regular
first baseman in 2006, Howard has
never hit less than 31 homers and 23
doubles in a season, and has driven
home at least 108 runs during each of
the past six years.
Hes beginning to work his way
back to his old form while recover
from an Achilles injury thats taking
an eternity to heal.
Howard hammered a pitch from
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees starter
John Maine the opposite way Tues-
day, shooting a rocket over the left
field wall for a two-run homer and his
first long ball in six minor league
rehab games.
I felt better, Howard said after-
ward, put a couple balls in play,
obviously had the home run.
He had a hit just as big later in the
game, rifling a two-run single that
went whistling past Yankees first
baseman Russell Branyan to give
Lehigh Valley a 4-1 lead.
He looked pretty steady in the field,
too, playing seven innings at first
base for Lehigh Valley respectably, if
not completely fluidly. The ankle still
makes him limp now and again.
Just trying to get reads, said Ho-
ward, who was out of Lehigh Valleys
lineup Wednesday. Felt good, had a
couple balls hit to me. A lot of its
just getting used to the game speed,
getting reads, getting my feel and
getting back defensively. Hitting-wise,
its settling in and getting all the
nerves out.
Phillies fans are getting nervous
looking at the standings at the sea-
sons halfway point.
But No. 3 hitter Chase Utley re-
turned from his knee troubles last
week, and Howard is on his way back
to the lineup, maybe even before next
weeks All-Star break.
With is two big hits Tuesday, Ho-
ward raised his Triple-A rehab batting
average from .167 to .333. And the
jolts he is beginning to provide at
Lehigh Valley would look big to a
Phillies team that began a series
against the New York Mets with an
11-1 loss at Citi Field.
Think of how a few timely hits
from Howard can change Philadel-
phias fortunes, the way his bat
helped bang out victories for Lehigh
Valley during two straight nights.
It was good, Howard said. Just
kind of been trying to make adjust-
ments. Im really just trying to get my
legs going. My legs got stuck in a
neutral phase.
His big league team seems stuck in
reverse without him. With Howard,
they may just have a chance to get up
off the ground.

WILKES-BARRE Chris Wadas and
Heidi Peoples ran to easy victories in
the Wilkes-Barre YMCAs Bernies Me-
morial 3-Mile Run on Independence
Day.
Wadas, 30, of Courtdale led a field of
more than 400 runners, breaking the
tape in 15 minutes, 15 seconds. Wadas,
whoruns for the Keystone TrackClubof
Harrisburg, outdistanced second-place
finisher, Jess Adams, 18, of Dallas by 37
seconds. Jeremy Evans, 22, of Scranton
finished third, three seconds behind
Adams. Former Lock Haven University
standout Jeff Skwierz, 29, of Forty Fort
finished fourth in 15:57. Dan Pszenicz-
ny, 42, of Benton finished fifth in 16:05.
I didnt take the lead until about a
half-mile into the race, said Wadas,
who is the head track and cross country
coach at Misericordia University. On
the way back at Miner Street (a few
blocks after the turnaround, which is
just off Old River Road at the Martz
Group bus garage), I had about a five-
second lead. Shortly after that, I could
see that I had about a 10-second lead.
They definitely werent coming up on
me. So I knew I should lay back so I
wouldnt fall apart late in the race.

JOHANNESBURG Never count
out Oscar Pistorius.
The Blade Runner will be competing
in the London Olympics after all, in his
favorite event, the 400 meters.
While his selection for the1,600 relay
team was expected, it was a surprise
last-minute turnaround by South Afri-
can sports officials Wednesday that
gave Pistorius the chance to run in the
400.
Withthe decision, the 25-year-oldwill
become the first amputee track athlete
to compete at any games.
Today is truly one of the proudest
days of my life, said Pistorius, a double
amputee who spent his entire track ca-
reer trying to prove hes good enough to
compete with the best.
He nowhas the chance todojust that.
South Africas Olympic committee
and national track federation suddenly
decided to clear Pistorius for the 400 at
the London Games on his carbon fiber
blades despite him just missing out on
the countrys strict qualifying criteria.
They added his name as the last on
their team of 125 track and field ath-
letes.

There are a fewreasons behind
Brad Thiessens decision to re-
sign with the Pittsburgh Pen-
guins organizationinrecent days.
Thiessen,
who spent the
last three sea-
sons with
Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton,
wasnt happy
with his per-
formance last
year, one that
resulted in a goals against aver-
age of 2.82 and a .887 save per-
centage. He wants to re-establish
himself as the player who won
the Baz Bastien Award as the
AHLs top goaltender in 2010-
2011.
And theres another reason
why Thiessen wants to come
back to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton --
hes got a family to think about
now.
The 26-year-old netminder is
getting married later this month
in New Jersey, and he wants to
start his newfamily life ina famil-
iar place.
Its always nice to go some-

WIMBLEDON, England After
curling in a 102 mph ace to grab a two-
set lead a mere 56 minutes into his
Wimbledon quarterfinal Wednesday,
Roger Federer casually pulled an extra
tennis ball fromhis pocket andstrolled
tosit inhis changeover chair for asipto
drink.
No fist pump. No yell of excitement.
No energized jog to the sideline.
There still was work to be done;
nothing to be taken for granted. Moti-
vated by the bitter memory of quarter-
final losses at the All England Club the
past twoyears, includinga wastedtwo-
set edge in 2011, six-time Wimbledon
champion Federer bullied 26th-seeded
Mikhail Youzhny of Russia 6-1, 6-2, 6-2
to reach his record 32nd career Grand
Slam semifinal.
Feels great being back in the semis.
... Havent been here in the last couple
years, the third-seeded Federer said.
So this is nice, to be back to a place
where Ive beenso many times before.
Hes two wins away from a seventh
Wimbledon championship, which
would equal a mark set by William
Renshaw in the 1880s back when
the defendingchampionreceiveda bye
directly into the final and tied by
Pete Sampras in 2000.
Nothing worked for Youzhny, in-

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com THURSDAY, JULY 5, 2012 PAGE 3B
S P O R T S
NEW YORK Cliff Lee
finally posted his first win of
the season and the Philadel-
phia Phillies hit three late
homers, breaking past the New
York Mets 9-2 Wednesday and
stopping a six-game losing
streak.
Chase Utley and Carlos Ruiz
hit consecutive home runs in
the seventh inning as the Phil-
lies rallied from a 2-0 deficit. Ty
Wiggintons two-run homer in
the ninth capped the surge.
Lee (1-5) had gone a puzzling
13 starts this year without a
victory, a big reason the five-
time NL East champions have
fallen far behind.
Nationals 9, Giants 4
WASHINGTON Ryan
Zimmermans line drive to
right-center kept going and
going and going until it
landed in the first row, high-
lighting another big Fourth of
July for the resurgent third
baseman and as the NL East-
leading Washington Nationals
beat the San Francisco Giants.
Zimmerman missed another
home run by inches he had
to settle for an RBI double
on a humid day when the ball
carried well at Nationals Park.
He is 10 for 20 with four home-
rs and 13 RBIs in six Independ-
ence Day games.
Pirates 6, Astros 4
PITTSBURGH Mike
McKenry and Pedro Alvarez
drove in two runs apiece, and
the Pirates looked pretty com-
fortable during their first day in
first place, beating the Astros.
Kevin Correia (5-6) won his
third straight decision as the
streaking Pirates moved nine
games above .500 (45-36) for
the first time since Barry
Bonds was swinging for the
fences at Three Rivers Stadium
20 years ago. Joel Hanrahan
pitched the ninth for his 21st
save. Garrett Jones added two
hits for Pittsburgh, which has
won seven of eight.
Marlins 7, Brewers 6
MILWAUKEE Hanley
Ramirez hit an RBI single off
reliever Manny Parra in the
10th inning, and the Marlins
went on to beat the Brewers.
Cubs 5, Braves 1
ATLANTA Bryan LaHair,
Jeff Baker and Anthony Rizzo
hit home runs and the Chicago
Cubs continued their success
against Atlanta by beating the
Braves.
Cardinals 4, Rockies 1
ST. LOUIS Adam Wainw-
right pitched six strong innings
and Matt Holliday had three
hits to lead the St. Louis Cardi-
nals to a 4-1 win over the Col-
orado Rockies.
Wainwright (7-8) gave up
one run, struck out seven and
allowed eight hits to help the
Cardinals win for the third time
in four games.

OAKLAND, Calif. Jemile
Weeks hit a go-ahead RBI sin-
gle in the seventh following
Coco Crisps leadoff triple, and
the Oakland Athletics complet-
ed a three-game sweep of the
Boston Red Sox with a 3-2 win
Wednesday.
Red Sox slugger David Ortiz
hit his 400th career home run
and scored on Adrian Gon-
zalezs sixth-inning single.
Grant Balfour (2-2) went 1
2
3
innings for the win as the As
(41-42) moved within one
game of .500 for the first time
since they were 22-23 on May
23. Lone As All-Star Ryan
Cook finished with a 1-2-3
ninth for his eighth save in 11
chances.
Indians 12, Angels 3
CLEVELAND Derek
Lowe won for the first time in
more than a month and the
Cleveland Indians beat the Los
Angeles Angels.
Lowe (8-6) gave up three
runs and 11 hits in six innings
for his first win in six starts
since June 1. The 39-year-old
right-hander was 0-3 with a
7.71 ERA in five outings be-
tween victories.
Michael Brantley hit a three-
run homer in the first inning
off Ervin Santana (4-9) and
Casey Kotchman had a three-
run shot in a six-run second as
Cleveland took a 9-1 lead.
Yankees 4, Rays 3
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Robinson Cano hit a two-run
single during a three-run
eighth.
Cano has driven in at least
one run in a career-best eight
consecutive games, helping the
AL East leaders stop a nine-
game road losing streak
against the Rays.
Alex Rodriguez cut the Yan-
kees deficit to 3-2 when he
drew a one-out bases-loaded
walk, the fourth freebie issued
by Kyle Farnsworth (0-1) in the
eighth.
Orioles 4, Mariners 2
SEATTLE Chris Tillman
gave up just two hits in 8
1
3
innings in first start of 2012
and Adam Jones hit his 20th
home run of the season for
Baltimore.
Jones homer leading off the
second inning came on a 2-0
pitch from Seattle starter Hec-
tor Noesi (2-11) and landed
well back in the upper level
seats. That was all Tillman
needed, as the one-time Seattle
prospect shut down his former
organization after getting
called up from the minors.
Blue Jays 4, Royals 1
TORONTO Carlos Villa-
nueva pitched six shutout
innings, Yunel Escobar drove
in two runs and the Toronto
Blue Jays beat the Kansas City
Royals.
Every Blue Jays starter had
at least one hit as Toronto won
for the fourth time in six
games. The Blue Jays are 6-1
against Kansas City this season
and have won nine of the past
12 meetings dating to 2011.

PITTSBURGH(AP) The
Houston Astros traded slug-
ger Carlos Lee to the Miami
Marlins on Wednesday in ex-
change for a pair of prospects.
The Astros acquired third
baseman
Matt Dom-
inguez and
left-handed
pitcher Rob
Rasmussen
in the deal.
The 36-
year-old Lee
spent five-
plus seasons with the Astros
and is hitting .287 with five
homers and 29 RBI in 65
games this year.
Houston manager Brad
Mills removed Lee in the sev-
enth inning of a 6-4 loss to the
Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednes-
day. Lees locker was already
empty by the time the club-
house opened after the game.
The right-hander gives the
Marlins a veteran hitter as
they try to get back into the
race in the NL East. First base
has been a problem for Miami
this season.

Millar selected for Britain
LONDON David Millar has been
selected for the British Olympic cycling
team, joining sprinter Dwain Chambers
and shot putter Carl Myerscough as
former doping offenders who have had
life Olympic bans overturned to com-
pete in their home games.
The 35-year-old Millar was one of
five British men named for the 155-mile
road race at the London Games. Mark
Cavendish, Chris Foome, Ian Stannard
and Bradley Wiggins were the others.
Like Chambers and Myerscough,
who were named in the athletics team
on Tuesday, Millar served an interna-
tional suspension for a doping offense
but had his lifetime ban by the British
Olympic Association overturned at the
Court of Arbitration for Sport in April.
Millar will be competing in his first
Olympics.
Noah off French team
PARIS Chicago Bulls center Joa-
kim Noah will not play for France at
the London Olympics because of the
left ankle injury sustained during the
NBA playoffs.
Noah told LEquipe he was absolute-
ly not ready. Not ready to run, not
ready to jump.
The 12 players who will represent
France are to be announced Thursday.
Its still unclear whether San Antonio
Spurs guard Tony Parker will make the
cut after a scratch to his cornea in a
fight involving singer Chris Brown and
members of hip-hop star Drakes en-
tourage. Frances Olympics opener is
against the United States on July 29.
GOLF
Woods looks to keep rolling
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va.
A short ride to Sam Sneads play-
ground in West Virginia is what Tiger
Woods considers a good way to get
ready for the British Open.
Woods is coming off a win at the
AT&T National last week and traveled
250 miles for his debut Thursday in the
Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia.
The quick trip helped make Woods
decision to compete in the tournament
easy, coupled with memories of the
late Sneads stories about his 47-year
association with the resort.
Woods says Snead used to tell him
how much he loved coming to The
Greenbrier.
The place might grow on Woods,
too, if he can get his fourth victory of
the season on the Old White TPC
Course and move within seven of
Sneads record 82 PGA Tour wins.
TENNIS
Hall of Fame investigates
claim of sex abuse
JOHANNESBURG A South Afri-
can attorney who represents women
who accuse a tennis champion of sex-
ually abusing them when they were
girls has welcomed moves by the In-
ternational Tennis Hall of Fame to
investigate Bob Hewitt.
Peter van Niekerk, speaking to The
Associated Press Wednesday, added
that he and some of the women he
represents already have spoken with a
Boston attorney the U.S.-based Hall
hired to investigate the allegations.
The inquiry could result in expulsion
or suspension from the Hall for Hewitt,
who played in the 1960s and 1970s and
was inducted into the Hall in 1992.
Attempts to reach the Australian-
born Hewitt, who lives in South Africa,
were not immediately successful.
Van Niekerk became involved in the
case because he also is a director of a
South African organization that lobbies
on behalf of child abuse victims.

England on Wednesday.
The Minnesota Wild were a star-
less team in need of a big-time jolt
to get the franchise back to the
point of being worthy of playing in
the State of Hockey.
The jolts dont come any bigger
than this.
The Wild landed not one but
both of the NHLs top prizes in free
agency, signing forward Zach Par-
ise and defenseman Ryan Suter on
Wednesday. Each deal is for 13
years and $98 million, according to
three people familiar with the con-
tracts whospoke toThe Associated
Press on condition of anonymity
because the team did not release
details.
WE GOT EM! the Wild an-
nounced on their Twitter account
early Wednesday afternoon, send-
ing shockwaves across the league
andthrougha devotedfanbase that
was starting to show signs of apa-
thy after missing the playoffs for a
fourth straight season.
Parise, the former New Jersey
Devils playmaker, and Suter, who
paired with Shea Weber on the
Nashville blue line, were regarded
the cream of what was a thin free
agent crop, and each had spent the
past four days poring over numer-
ous offers from several teams be-
fore making a decision.
This is a great day in the history
of the Minnesota Wild, GMChuck
Fletcher said in a conference call.
Maybe THE greatest. The Wild
have had a relatively non-descript
existence aside from one stirring
run to the Western Conference fi-
nals in their second season.
One person said that the break-
down of the contracts is exactly the
same, with both players getting $12
million in each of the first two
years. The deals then go down in
value, with each player making $1
million in both 2023-24 and 2024-
25.
With one fell swoop, the Wild
have been transformed from a rela-
tively young franchise with very lit-
tlehistoryof success sincebeingre-
established in Minnesota, to an im-
mediate contender.
Now the Predators need to turn
their attention to re-signing their
other star defenseman, captain
Shea Weber, who is a restrictedfree
agent.
Second-tier free agent defense-
man Matt Carle left the Philadel-
phia Flyers for a six-year, $33 mil-
liondeal withthe Tampa BayLight-
ning. Former Pittsburgh Penguins
forward Steve Sullivan took a one-
year, $1.85 million deal with the
Phoenix Coyotes.

OAKLAND, Calif. From their
early days as bouncing Boy Scouts to
the demanding journey of becoming
Eagle Scouts, to their days as nation-
al champion shooters and, eventual-
ly, top-notch college rowers each
studying engineering, twins Grant
and Ross James have always taken
parallel paths in life.
Both knew that could end as they
chased their Olympic dream. One
might make it, while the other stayed
home.
Then, Ross landed the last seat in
the U.S. eight boat that captured the
final spot in the eight-country Olym-
pic field.
Theyre off to Lon-
don as Olympic team-
mates, rowing in neigh-
boring seats to boot.
Weve had a lot of
similar experiences,
said Ross, who is four
minutes younger.
Weve been doing a lot
of things throughout
our life together and
weve accomplished a
lot of things together,
so its nice to continue that trend of
being withyour twinbrother. I like to
think of him like another teammate.
Its tough, because we wont always
be in the same boat or the same sit-
uations.
For now, theyre thrilled with this
rare opportunity and so is their
proud mother, Cindy Warren-James,
who raised them on her own. Had
things gone differently just a few
months back, the brothers wouldnt
be together now.
As the final spot came down to
Ross and another rower in late April,
Grant excused himself when the rest
of the athletes gave their nomina-
tions for who should make the boat.
The last couple days it was be-
tween myself and another rower for
the very last seat in the boat, so thats
when it came down to, would both of
us go or not? Ross recalled. Its not
easy. The whole five months wasnt
easy. It was pretty stressful. Thats
part of it. If at that stage you can han-
dle that level of stress, at the Olym-
pics its going to be an even higher
level of stress. The easy part was go-
ing out and racing.
Teammate Giuseppe Lanzone
called it a very hard decision, but
credited Ross for earning the spot.
Coach Mike Teti said Ross was the
most consistent. USRowingformally
named them to the Olympic roster
Tuesday.
The 24-year-old twins credit their
do-everything mother for preparing
them for just about anything. A first-
grade teacher, she had a family sup-
port system within100 miles of their
home in DeKalb, Ill.
Warren-James did all she could to
expose her boys to a range of activ-
ities, and is quick to thank everyone
generous enough to share their ex-
pertise along the way. She encour-
aged adventure and exploration.
And her sons tough to tell apart
on the water when sporting similar
red workout caps, though not identi-
cal twins are quick to credit her
hard work and tireless energy.
I dont knowhowshe did it, Ross
said.
Warren-James was theboys Scouts
leader from the time they were 6 to
18. Starting when they were sixth-
graders, she tookthemcampingonce
a month every year no matter the
conditions.
I wasnt just pullingthings out of a
hat, I knew where I was going and I
had the right plans. It worked out
well, said Warren-James, whose
sons passedher upinheight infourth
grade. As a parent, you know that
things dont just happen. You have to
have a plan. The plan was always to
surround themwith good people and
find good activities that brought a lot
of value that helpedthemlearnabout
themselves. They had lots of chances
to try things and with that they
learned a lot about themselves.
These two were on the boat that
failed to qualify for the Olympics at
last years world championships in
Slovenia, forcing the Americans to
win the final qualifying regatta at Lu-
cerne, Switzerland, in May to earn
the last Olympic spot. That was a
first in the modern Olympic era that
US Rowing hadnt se-
cured a place for the boat
at worlds.
Both were determined
to do their part the next
time.
Known for cooking
staples such as large cas-
seroles and homemade
chili in the Bay Area
home shared by the nine
athletes, they always
make more than enough
to fuel their enormous
appetites. Typically, the twins take in
an astonishing 8,000 calories each
day.
Maybe we need more, Grant
quipped.
The James twins came to rowing
by chance, really.
Before college, a postcard arrived
at their home seeking athletes 6-
foot-2 or taller to consider trying out
for the crewteamat Wisconsin. They
figured why not? They were 6-foot-5
and thought it might be a good activ-
ity and way to make friends that
didnt involve playing basketball. At
freshman orientation, the coaches
charged at them in full-on recruiting
mode.
Our freshman year, we didnt
knowanything about rowing, Grant
recalled. We kept showing up every
day and wed win a few races. It felt
good, and after that we got hooked.

A man who once led the NCAAs
committee on infractions says the col-
lege sports governingbody shouldnot
bring severe sanctions on Penn State
relatedtotheJerrySanduskychildsex
abuse scandal.
Gene A. Marsh, who served on the
NCAA Division I infractions commit-
tee from 1999 through 2008, and
chaired the committee from 2004 to
2006, said he believes there are two
reasons the NCAA should essentially
stay out of the Penn State situation:
The charges of which Sandusky
was convicted, although horrific, like-
ly do not fall under the purviewof the
NCAA, which typically reserves its at-
tention for allegations of academic
fraud or efforts to gain an unfair com-
petitive advantage.
Once PennState goes throughthe
criminal and civil proceedings associ-
ated with the case, there would be lit-
tle to be gained from the NCAA add-
ing another layer of punishment.
Marshsaideventhe apparent cover-
up of Sanduskys actions - as reported-
ly shown through emails circulated by
top Penn State officials - should go
throughthe criminal courts before the
NCAA would get involved.
I think they ought to leave this one
alone, based on the facts, said Marsh,
who is of counsel with the Birming-
ham, Ala., law firm of Lightfoot, Fran-
klin and White.
Penn State is obviously going to be
held accountable from A to Z, Marsh
said in a telephone interview. Every
bit of that towel will be wrung out.
Marsh represented former Ohio
State head coach Jim Tressel in his
dealings with the NCAA after the
Buckeyes 2010 tattoo scandal.
He said if the NCAA handed down
punishment to Penn State after the
criminal cases and the lawsuits play
out, it would be like shooting road
kill.
Heavy sanctions against the Penn
State football teamwouldripple finan-
cially across all of the universitys
sports programs.
Penn States 2011-12 budget has
football generating more than $50.5
million in revenue against $10.4 mil-
lion in football-related expenses.
Mens basketball will bring in about
$6.3 million in revenue versus $3.3
million in costs.
No other sports teams are profit-
able, and so are dependent on football
for their survival, the budget data
show.
The NCAA could take no action, or
could impose penalties such as the
loss of scholarships, banishment from
bowl games or the extreme step of im-
posing the death penalty - shutting
down the football program for a peri-
od of time. Only once has the NCAA
imposed that punishment on a foot-
ball team, against the Southern Meth-
odist University program in 1987 for
extensive and repeated recruiting vio-
lations.
Penn State spokesman David La
Torre said it is far too early for any-
one in the athletics department to dis-
cuss hypothetical NCAA actions.

Pistorius Olympic selection
wasnt clear cut. He forced his
way in against all the odds as hes
done time and time again.
Just like his last-gasp qualify-
ing time to make history at the
world championships last year,
Pistorius claimed his place at the
Olympics late. He also needed
help.
Pistorius ran a personal best
45.07 seconds last year and
opened this season with a 45.20
both Olympic-qualifying
times.
But heneededanother 45.30or
better at an international meet
before last Saturday to seal a spot
in the 400, according to his na-
tional Olympic committees regu-
lations. He missed it by less than
a quarter of a second in his final
qualifying race at the African
Championships.
I have run two Olympic A
standard times over the past 12
months and with the time I ran at
the African Championships last
weekI knowmyspeedandfitness
areconstantlyimprovingsothat I
will peak in time for the Olym-
pics, he said.
After he missed out on his sec-
ond required Olympic qualifying
time, the South African Olympic
committee and Athletics South
Africa appeared certain to over-
look himin the 400. They had in-
sistedthroughout theseasonthat
they wouldnt relax their tough
qualifying criteria for Pistorius.
But the late-season burst at the
Africans, which also won him a
silver andhis first major individu-
al medal in an able-bodied race,
may have pushed officials to in-
clude him.

have to consider that inmy deci-
sion.
Thiessen was an unrestricted
free agent this summer and
seemed destined for another or-
ganization after Pittsburgh trad-
edfor andsignedveteranTomas
Vokoun to be Marc-Andre Fleu-
rys backup for the next two sea-
sons.
Withthe first twogoaltending
spots locked up, it made sense
for Thiessen to look elsewhere
for an NHL shot.
Obviously I was disappoint-
ed when (Vokoun) signed. We
wall want opportunities to play
in the NHL and that kind of so-
lidified (Pittsburghs) goaltend-
ing situation, he said. But
lookingahead, my best opportu-
nity was here.
Other than being familiar
with Wilkes-Barre and the orga-
nization, Thiessen mentioned
several other reasons why re-
turning made sense.
He wanted to play for head
coachJohnHynes againand, be-
ing in Wilkes-Barre should give
Thiessen plenty of mintues in
net to redeem himself from last
season.
I wasnt happy with the way I
played last year, he said. I
wanted to come back and re-es-
tablish myself as a top goalie in
the AHL.
Thiessenalsosaidthe signing
off goaltender Jeff Zatkoff an
AHLAll-Star last season, should
help him get his career back on
track.
Hes a great goaltender andit
will create good competition,
Thiessensaid. Theres onlyone
net and, as a goaltender, you
want to make sure youre at the
top of your game. Having anoth-
er good goaltender pushes you
to do that.
Last season, Thiessen got his
first taste of the NHL, posting a
3-1 record in five games with
Pittsburgh. While the experi-
ence was definitely a benefit, he
said, it may have contributed to
the decline at the AHL level.
Last year, maybe I was think-
ing too much about that NHL
shot and focused on that more
than I should have, Thiessen
said.
Heading into this season with
a newone contract and, as of Ju-
ly 22, a wife, Thiessens focus is
clear. Another NHL shot re-
mains the goal, but this time it
wont be a distraction.
You never give up on that op-
portunity. Its a long season and
reachingthe NHLagainis some-
thing I wont close the door on,
he said. Its just not something
Im going to dwell on. I need to
play well and be consistent no
matter where Im at.

wife, Kate.
I know Im playing really
well, Federer said. I am aware
things are going to get compli-
cated in the next match.
Sure are.
Thats because hell face a fa-
miliar foe Friday: No. 1 Novak
Djokovic, the defending cham-
pion, who didnt have too much
trouble while beating No. 31
Florian Mayer of Germany 6-4,
6-1, 6-4 in the quarterfinals.
Familiar foe
This will be the sixth semifi-
nal in the past eight Grand Slam
tournaments, and 27th meeting
overall, for Federer and Djokov-
ic, and their first at Wimbledon.
Federer leads 14-12, but Djo-
kovic won six of their last seven
matches, including at the
French Open a month ago.
Theres nosecrets withthose
guys. They know how to play
each other, said Federers
coach, Paul Annacone. So its
really going to be who plays the
bigger points better.
The other mens semifinal
will be No. 4 Andy Murray of
Britain against No. 5 Jo-Wilfried
Tsonga of France.
Neither has won a Grand
Slam title or been to a Wimble-
don final.
Cue Murray Mania, as its
known around these parts. He is
trying to become the first Brit-
ishmantoearnthe trophy at the
All EnglandClubsince FredPer-
ry in1936; the last to even make
it to the title match was Bunny
Austin in 1938.
If you think too much about
it, and you read the newspapers
and you watch the stuff on TV
thats said about you, I think it
would become far too much,
Murray said. But if you kind of
shield yourself from it all and
kindof just get into your ownlit-
tlebubble, onlylistentothepeo-
ple that are around you, then its
something you can deal with.
He was one point from facing
a two-set deficit before coming
back to eliminate No. 7 David
Ferrer of Spain 6-7 (5), 7-6 (6),
6-4, 7-6 (4) to get to the semifi-
nals for the fourth year in a row.
Murray lost at that stage to An-
dy Roddick in 2009, then to Ra-
fael Nadal in 2010 and 2011
and No. 2 Nadals stunning exit
in the second round last week
ratcheted up expectations this
would be Murrays year.
Subconsciously, Im proba-
bly extremely stressed out right
now, Murray said, but I try not
to feel it.
No decision, but
A basketball fan, he likened
his situation to that of LeBron
James, who recently won his
first NBA championship with
the Miami Heat after twice los-
ing in the finals.
Ive been close a lot of times
and not quite made it. Just have
to keep putting myself in the po-
sition, and hopefully it will
click, said Murray, the runner-
up at the U.S. Open in 2008, and
the Australian Open in 2010 and
2011. Theres a lot of people
that said he would never win. ...
Sometimes it takes guys a bit
longer than others.
Tsonga, a finalist at the 2008
Australian Open, got to his sec-
ond consecutive Wimbledon
semifinal by defeating Philipp
Kohlschreiber of Germany 7-6
(5), 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-2.
Hes 1-5 against Murray, in-
cluding a loss at Wimbledon
two years ago.
In the womens semifinals
Thursday, 13-time Grand Slam
champion Serena Williams
plays No. 2-seeded Victoria Aza-
renka of Belarus, and No. 3 Ag-
nieszka Radwanska of Poland
faces No. 8 Angelique Kerber of
Germany. Williams is a four-
time Wimbledon winner; none
of the other three womenhas re-
ached the final. The 30-year-old
American is trying to become
the first woman at least that age
to winany major title since Mar-
tina Navratilova at Wimbledon
in 1990.
Federer, who turns 31on Aug.
8, has gone 2
1
2 years without
adding to his record total of 16
Grand Slam titles.
And he hasnt won Wimble-
don since 2009.

The Times Leader staff
ALLENTOWN -- On a night
typically celebrated with fire-
works, Brandon Laird made
some of his own.
And they helped the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees final-
lylight uptheskiesat LehighVal-
ley.
For the second straight night
Laird launched a homer, Russell
Branyan added another bomb
and the Yankees out-slugged
Ryan Howard-less Lehigh Valley,
8-5 in an Independence Day
game at Coca-Cola Park.
For Laird and the Yankees,
breaking a four-game losing
streak as a road team in Lehigh
Valley was almost better than a
backyard cookout.
I thought about that, said
Laird, aCalifornianative. Today
wasagooddaytohit. Myfamilys
at home barbequeing, having a
good time. I get to call my dad
and tell him I had a pretty good
day.
His day began with a bang,
whenLairdshot asharpsinglein-
to center field following Bra-
nyans walk. It triggered a three-
run second inning for Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre, when Cole Garner
ripped an RBI double and Gusta-
vo Molina followed with a two-
run double that scored Laird and
Garner.
Hes been swinging it better,
Yankees manager Dave Miley
said of Laird. Weve seen (Jack)
Cust andBranyan. WeneedLaird
to get heated up for us. Hopeful-
ly, he continues it.
Lairds big night was just be-
ginning.
He followed Ronnier Muste-
lierssingleandBranyanswalkin
the third inning with a three-run
rocket over the right-field wall,
giving the Yankees a 6-1lead.
The last few games Ive been
seeing the ball pretty well, said
Laird, whose third-inning blast
washissixthhomer of theseason
and came on the heels of his
homer in Tuesday nights one-
runloss toLehighValley. Imbe-
ing patient, trying to put good,
short swings on it.
The Yankees kept swinging, as
Corban Joseph drilled an RBI
doubleinthefifthinningandBra-
nyanblastedatoweringsoloshot
over the right field wall to give
Scranton/Wilkes-Barrean8-1ad-
vantage.
Had some good at-bats, some
timely hits, said Miley, whose
teamhad at least one hit in every
inning and14 for the game.
No comeback
The IronPigs, missing Phillies
slugger Howard who had a day
off Wednesday from his minor
leaguerehabilitationassignment
while recovering from a torn
Achilles tendon, saw their rally
fall short.
They scored first on Pete Orrs
first-inning sacrifice fly and
pulled close when former Phillie
Michael Martinez drove a three-
run homer over the right-field
wall, cutting Scranton/Wilkes-
Barres lead to 8-5.
But Yankees starter and win-
ner Nelson Figueroa (6-2) quick-
ly composed himself to record
the final two outs of the sixth,
andtheIronPigs never got anoth-
er baserunner. Relievers Cory
Wade, Chase Whitley and Ryota
Igarashi all pitched perfect in-
nings in the seventh, eighth and
ninthinnings tonail downScran-
ton/Wilkes-Barres first victory
infivetries as thevisitingteamat
Coca-Cola.
That pulled 47-40 Yankees
within3
1
2 games of first-place Le-
high Valley in the International
League North Division.
Our bullpen shut it down for
the nine outs, Miley said.
Thats been a little bit of a prob-
lemfor us the past fewgames.
Noproblem, though, whenthe
Yankeesoffenseislightingupthe
skies.
The last couple of nights, we
played well, Laird said. We had
a couple of situations we didnt
take advantage of. But we keep
ourselves in games like that,
were going to start winning
some games and hopefully turn
the standings around.

ROUEN, France Britains Mark Ca-
vendish felt painful scrapes fromthe hard
Tour de France asphalt in Wednesdays
fourthstage. He baredno hardfeelings to-
ward rival Andre Greipel, who won it.
The German speedster, leading a
thinned-out group of sprinters at the fin-
ish, got his14thvictoryinall competitions
this year while Cavendish nursed wounds
from a late crash as the race entered Nor-
mandy.
Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara got brief-
ly held up by the trouble but didnt go
down, and retained the overall lead for a
fifth day after the 133-mile trek alongside
the English Channel from Abbeville to
Rouen.
The top standings didnt change: Bra-
dley Wiggins, the leader of Cavendishs
TeamSky hoping to be Britains first Tour
winner, is second, 7 seconds behind the
Swiss leader. Defending champion Cadel
Evans of Australia is 17 seconds off the
pace in seventh.
With less than two miles left, a group
spill brought down Cavendish, scraping
up his rainbow-colored jersey of world
champion. He looked a bit dazed as Sky
staff checked himout and helped himget
on a bike. He rode gingerly to finish the
stage. The squad said he was banged up,
but appeared to have no serious injuries
and was likely to start Thursday.
WithCavendishout of thepicture, Grei-

one devoted lead-out man to guide and

banged up in the spill.
Cavendish, seen by many as the worlds
best sprinter and the winner of 21 Tour
stages including Stage 2 Monday, con-
veyed no hard feelings over his mishap.

KOHLER, Wis. Yani Tseng
fondly remembers attending the
U.S. Womens Openas a fanwhen
she was 13, down to autographs
and free snacks. Should Tseng
win at Blackwolf Run this week,
shell get a taste of fame only a
handful of players have sampled
before.
Witha victory inthe U.S. Wom-
ens Open, the 23-year-old native
of Taiwan would become the
youngest
womens
player ever to
complete a
career Grand
Slamof victo-
ries in each
major tour-
nament.
Shed even
one-up Tiger
Woods, who
didnt win all
four majors on the mens side un-
til he was 24.
But after winning three times
on the LPGA Tour earlier this
year, Tsengis strugglinggoingin-
to Thursdays first round at the
challenging 6,944-yard, par-72
course in central Wisconsin. And
Tseng acknowledges that com-
pleting the career slam is on her
mind.
Yes, of course, Tseng said.
Its hard to not think about, be-
cause everybody is talking about
it. But like I say, Im not worried
about whats my result this week,
because (Im) just going to have
fun.
Karrie Webb is the youngest
womens player to complete a ca-
reer Grand Slam, winning the
LPGA Championship in 2001 to
complete the feat at age 26.
On the mens side, Woods was
24 when he won the 2000 British
Open to become the youngest
player to complete the career
Grand Slam.
Tsengs best U.S. Open finish
was10that Oakmont in2010. But
her best memory at the tourna-
ment came as a 13-year-old fan,
when she was part of a small
group of young Taiwanese play-
ers who watched Juli Inkster win
in 2002. She remembers getting
players autographs on a flag.
When youre a junior, you can
get (a) hot dog andsoft drink and
free ticket to come in here,
Tseng said. It was so much fun.
Ina way, Tseng saidher experi-
ence at the U.S. Open as a fan
adds to the pressure she puts on
herself as a player.
So every year when I come to
the U.S. Open I always feel more
nerves and more pressure on this
tournament, Tseng said. When
I was 13 my dream was playing
the U.S. Open. Now Im trying to
think (about) winning the U.S.
Open. Its a verybigstepfor me to
think this way.
Thosethoughts comedespitea
recent rough patch in Tsengs
game.
She got off to a roaring start
this season, winning three of her
first eight tournaments and fin-
ishing in the top 10 in all eight.

Two makers, 2 Buds
S
tate-owned Czech brewery Budejov-
icky Budvar NP says a British court
has rejected Anheuser-Buschs request
to have Budvars Budweiser trademark
declared invalid, in the latest ruling in a
long legal battle over the brand name.
Budvar said Wednesday the ruling by
Britains Court of Appeal, which is final,
means that unlike other markets, An-
heuser-Busch and the Czech brewer can
both continue to use the Budweiser
trademark in Britain.
The decision is in line with last years
ruling by EUs Court of Justice in Lux-
embourg.
Both brewers were granted the right
to use it in 2000 after a ruling that
British beer drinkers were aware of the
difference.
The legal battle over the Budweiser
trademark has not been affected after
Anheuser-Busch was taken over by
Belgian brewer InBev in 2008.
LONDON
Barclays boss grilled
The former boss of Barclays, who
lost his job over a financial market-
fixing scandal, said Wednesday that a
Bank of England official had not en-
couraged him to report false data at the
height of the credit crunch in 2008.
Bob Diamond, who resigned as chief
executive a day earlier, was grilled by a
parliamentary committee about his
conversation with Paul Tucker, deputy
governor of the Bank of England, on
Oct. 29, 2008.
That conversation, disclosed Tuesday
by Barclays, has become the focus of
questions about the false data sub-
mitted by Barclays between 2005 and
2009 which last week drew a fine of
$453 million by U.S. and British agen-
cies.
VATICAN CITY
Vatican report secret
The Vatican has gotten its report card
on its efforts to be more financially
transparent but its secret.
A Council of Europe committee in
Strasbourg on Wednesday adopted a
report by independent inspectors who
have been studying the Holy Sees
efforts to comply with international
standards to fight money laundering
and terror financing.
The evaluators preliminary report
found areas where the Vatican was
compliant and where it needed work.
During the meeting Wednesday of the
Council of Europes Moneyval commit-
tee, that report was amended by gov-
ernments who are committee members,
as often occurs. But neither the Vatican
nor the Council of Europe would dis-
close the outcome, saying Moneyvals
procedures forbid it.
The full report will be released in
about a month, after the Vatican makes
its own observations about the findings.
NEW YORK
DaVita to pay $55 million
Dialysis service provider DaVita Inc.
will pay $55 million to settle a lawsuit
related to overuse of an anemia medica-
tion.
The lawsuit was filed in 2002 and is
based on a whistleblowers claim that
DaVita overused Epogen, an anemia
drug made by Amgen, over a 10-year
period.
DaVita says its physicians did noth-
ing wrong and stand by their anemia
management practices, but the compa-
ny says the agreement is in the best
interest of its shareholders. The compa-
ny also will pay attorney fees.

Kenya kills Iran oil deal
Kenya on Wednesday canceled a deal
to import Iranian oil hours after the
U.S. warned the country that it risked
being penalized if it sees through the
deal which would breach U.S. and Eu-
ropean union sanctions, a government
official said.
The sanctions are meant to deprive
funding for the Iranian government and
what is believed to be an effort by Iran
to build nuclear weapons.

THE DAWN
of the In-
ternet
marked the
sunset of
privacy.
At least,
thats the
impression I keep getting
reinforced by this piece of
news concerning Cisco Sys-
tems, manufacturer of Linksys
branded routers. Linksys rou-
ters are everywhere, and many
of you probably have them in
your homes.
Cisco makes a good product,
and their business practices
have been perceived as reputa-
ble at least, they were. That
might change after the compa-
nys latest move.
Cisco pushed an update
through to their E-series
routers the E2700, E3500
and E4500 models, which
changed the user name and
password of the router and
forced users to sign up for a
Cisco cloud-based service
where they could configure
their routers.
Thats just annoying for
most people, but the next part
is worse. Cisco modified its
privacy policy, so that if you
accessed the service, called
Cisco Connect Cloud, the
company would then be in the
clear to access your history
and usage information, and it
reserved the right to terminate
your service if you used its
equipment for offensive
purposes.
The specific line reads: We
may keep track of certain in-
formation related to your use
of the Service, including but
not limited to the status and
health of your network and
networked products; which
apps relating to the Service
you are using; which features
you are using within the Ser-
vice infrastructure; network
traffic (e.g., megabytes per
hour); Internet history
It goes on to state that fur-
ther updates might be applied,
regardless of whether you, the
owner of the product, wished
to do so.
While the company has
recanted the most egregious
passages and allowed users to
go back to the way things
were, this move has spooked a
lot of people. If you have noth-
ing to hide, why should you
surrender control of household
appliances to their manu-
facturers?
This is like a microwave
company saying We reserve
the right to not cook your food
if we determine that we dont
like the recipe, and its utterly
ridiculous.
The ostensible purpose of
the Cisco Connect Cloud is to
allow users to access their
routers and devices attached to
them from anywhere, which is
certainly useful. But should the
price be allowing them to see
all of their customers usage
statistics, Internet history, and
activities? What does Cisco
have to gain? Plenty. Market-
ing data. All manner of statis-
tics. And whatever its privacy
policy may say about how it
handles that information, its
not worth the paper its written
on since the company reserves
the right to change it at will.
Theres a lesson to be
learned here: Read the fine
print.
Privacy over because of move by Ciscos Linksys routers
TECH TALK
N I C K D E L O R E N Z O
WASHINGTON A majority of
economists in the latest Associated
Press Economy Survey expect the
national unemployment rate to stay
above 6 percent the upper bounds
of whats considered healthy for at
least four more years.
If the economists are correct, the
job market will still be unhealthy
seven years after the Great Recession
officially ended in June 2009. That
would be the longest stretch of high
unemployment since the end of
World War II.
And it means the job market and
the economy President Barack
Obamas main political threats
would remain big challenges in either
a second Obama term or President
Mitt Romneys first term.
The election isnt going to be a
miracle cure for the unemployment
rate thats for sure, says Sean
Snaith, an economics professor at the
University of Central Florida. He
thinks unemployment, which is 8.2
percent now, wont drop back to 6
percent until after 2016.
Economists consider a normal
level to be between 5 percent and 6
percent.
The economists surveyed by the
AP foresee an unemployment rate of
8 percent on Election Day. That
would be the highest rate any post-
war president running for re-election
has faced.
The survey results come before the
government reports Friday on hiring
during June. Fears about the econo-
my escalated after U.S. employers
added just 69,000 jobs in May, the
fewest in a year and the third straight
month of weak job growth.
The AP survey collected the views
late last month from 32 private, cor-
porate and academic economists on a
range of issues. Among their views:
The economy will continue to
grow only slowly. The average fore-
cast for the April-June period is that
GDP grew at an annual rate of 2 per-
cent. Thats down from a 2.4 percent
forecast in April. The economists
think the rate in the final six months
of the year will be just 2.3 percent.
Thats too weak to bring the unem-
ployment rate down.
Monthly job gains will average
139,000 the rest of this year barely
enough to keep up with population
growth and prevent unemployment
from worsening. In their forecast in
April, the economists predicted aver-
age monthly job gains of 189,000.
The one step Europe could take
that would boost confidence in its
financial system quickly would be a
bailout program like the Troubled
Asset Relief Program, or TARP, that
Congress approved in 2008 to rescue
U.S. banks after the financial crisis
hit.
Latest AP survey of economists says next president faces high
national unemployment rate for at least four more years

Jobs woes persist
By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER

DAYTON, Ohio The num-
ber of people earning college cer-
tificates has dramatically in-
creased as students seek the
quickest connection to a job.
Certificates are the fastest-
growing college credential, with
more than 1 million awarded na-
tionally in 2010, according to a re-
cent study from the Georgetown
University Center on Education
and the Workforce.
Certificates equip students
with the skills they need for a job
often in less than a year, and they
sometimes increase a persons
earnings potential past that of a
bachelors degree holder.
"There has been an explosion
incertificates," saidSeanCreight-
on, executive director of the
Southwestern Ohio Council for
Higher Education.
"The offerings have increased
dramatically with certificates be-
cause its a great way for a student
whether its a working adult or
somebody in transition to get
some real technical develop-
ment," he said.
Certificates almost always take
less than two years to complete
and more than half take less than
one year and often avoid general
education classes required by an
associate or bachelors degree
program, according to George-
town.
Students entering Clark State
Community Colleges new diesel
technology certificate, which
launches this fall at the Spring-
field, Ohio, school, could be em-
ployableafter evenpart of thepro-
gram.
"There is a huge demand for
diesel techs," said David Devier,
vice president of academic and
student affairs at Clark. "Its a
high-paying job. These are life-
sustaining wages were talking
here."
The certificate will add to the
about 52 available through the
school.
"We provide certificates be-
cause a lot of people come us and
want to know whats the shortest
distance from what I am right
now unemployed to em-
ployableandskilled," Devier said.
Some of the certificate pro-
grams are ideal for a student just
starting college, said Jane Cape,
Clark States deanof business and
applied technologies.
Others are aimed at profession-
als looking to gain a new skill or
people with a bachelors or mas-
ters degree wanting to expand
their training, such as the ad-
vanced technical intelligence cer-
tificate, Cape said.

ROMEItalianPremier Mario Monti
insisted Wednesday the country doesnt
need a European bailout because its pub-
lic finances will improve, but acknowl-
edges work still needs to be done to cut
government spending, boost economic
growth and create jobs.
Monti spoke at a press conference with
German Chancellor Angela Merkel after
meeting about Europes debt crisis. It
was their first encounter since European
leaders in Brussels last week agreed to
use the continents bailout fund to funnel
money directly to struggling banks and
let countries following budget rules ap-
ply for financial aid without stringent
conditions attached.
Monti, who had pressed for such a
deal, insisted Italy didnt need a bailout
to help it pay its government debt be-
cause its budget deficit was low com-
pared with many other European coun-
tries and forecast to improve.
As of the end of 2011, official European
statistics put Italys deficit at 3.9 percent,
just above the EU limit of 3 percent.
Spains, by contrast, was much higher at
8.5 percent.
Italys big problemis the economy is in
recession and it has a high public debt
loadequivalent to120 percent of GDP. In-
vestors fearing Italy may have trouble re-
paying that debt have been asking for
high interest rates to lend to the country.
The measures announcedby European
leaders last week have helped relieve the
fear that Italy may default. In particular,
making it easier for countries to access
Europeanbailout funds has convincedin-
vestors that Italy has a credible financial
backstop should it run into trouble fi-
nancing itself.
Agreeing to loosen the conditions for
bailouts was not easy, however, and was
the source of heated debated between
Monti and Merkel in recent weeks and at
the summit.
Italy doesnt need a bailout, Premier Monti says
Mario Monti says Italys public
finances will improve.

It's going to be
another hot one
today! Plenty of
sunshine with
afternoon tem-
peratures in the
upper 80s and
lower 90s. It
won't be as
humid today as
yesterday, but
it's still going to
be hot. We could
use some rain
showers, but it
doesn't appear
like that will hap-
pen today.
Things are get-
ting very dry.
We haven't
recorded meas-
urable rainfall
since June 29
and even that
wasn't much,
only .05" of rain.
Speaking of rain,
we may get
some showers
Saturday
evening and
Sunday as a cold
front moves
through, bring-
ing an end to the
really humid
weather for
awhile.
- Kurt Aaron
NATIONAL FORECAST: Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be likely along a cold front from
the northern Great Lakes to the northern Plains. Monsoonal moisture will result in showers and thun-
derstorms across the Southwest and through the central Rockies. Scattered thunderstorms will be
possible over much of the Southeast and central Gulf Coast, with a few storms to the north from
eastern Kentucky, through Ohio into Lower Michigan. Most of the Northeast will be dry, except for a
few showers over northern Maine.

THE TIMES LEADER THURSDAY, JULY 5, 2012
timesleader.com
In the course of researching boys
friendships over two decades, Niobi
Way stumbled upon a link that ap-
pears, at first blush, to go against ev-
erything we believe about fatherly in-
fluence.
The quantitative data from study-
ing hundreds of boys show that high-
quality relationships with their moms
predict high-quality relationships
with their friends, says Way, a profes-
sor at NewYorkUniversity andthe au-
thor of Deep Secrets: Boys Friend-
ships and the Crisis of Connection
(Harvard University Press). But the
opposite is true with dads. The more
time theyre spending with dad, the
less they report having high-quality
friendships.
The finding gave Way and her fel-
low researchers pause, but it actually
speaks to the heart
of her thesis, which
is, in essence: Boys
want close friend-
ships. Boys are
equipped to foster
close friendships.
Boys, in fact, rock at
close friendships.
Until they ap-
proach adulthood.
Way interviewed
hundreds of boys
black, white, Latino,
Asian-American
throughout adoles-
cence and found
that theyre quite
clear about the es-
teem with which
they regard their
friendships.
I heard these 13-,
14-, 15-year-old boys saying, I need
my friends. I want close friends. I
would go wacko without my close
friends, she says. Around15, 16, 17,
you start to hear a very different boy
talking. Freshman year a boy would
tell me, Victor is my best friend. I love
him.
But by senior year, the same boy is
loath to admit to such feelings, Way
says.
Our boys face nothing less than a
crisis in their relational abilities, say
experts in the area of adolescent psy-
chology. And the stakes are high.
Ways research links healthy, intimate
friendships among boys with lower
rates of bullying, better physical
health, longer life spans, less drugand
alcohol abuse and better academic
performance. The time at which most
boys start to drift away from their
close friends typically age 15 or 16
corresponds precisely with the time
at whichsuicide rates for boys jumpto
five times the rate of girls, Way says.
The question isnt how do we
teach our boys to have relationships,
Way says. Its how do we teach them
to hang on to them. How do we help
themmaintainthe friendships they al-
ready have into adulthood?
We start by giving them the green
light to express what theyre already
feeling.
Boys have the full emotional reper-
toire, says child psychologist Mi-
chael Thompson, co-author of Rais-
ing Cain: Protecting the Emotional
Life of Boys (Ballantine Books).
They dont always have the permis-
sion to use it.
Dads, he says, can change that.
If fathers, especially, emphasize
too much competitiveness and tough-
ness, Thompson says, and that old
American bugaboo, which is self-re-
liance, then a boy is confused. Well,
should I be self-reliant? Which means
not feeling so dependent on my
friends as I do in my heart?
Which speaks to Ways link be-
tween fathers and quality friendships.
Because men grew up in the same

TLANTA- This summer, 6-year-oldHailey Samuel will spenda minimumof
20 minutes eachday reading. She will alsowrite a bookreport, answer prac-
tice standardized test questions and shore up her spelling and math skills.
If that seems like overkill for the rising first-grader, her mother, Dana Samuel, wont
disagree with you. She believes the assignments from Wynbrooke Theme School in
Stone Mountain, Ga., are a bit much.
Im a very involved mom, but I believe children
have to be children, her mother said. She will do
the work but without compromising our we time.
Once reserved for ambitious Advanced Place-
ment kids, summer assignments have gradually
spilledover tothe rest of the student body, puttinga
damper on family vacations and, as Samuel put it,
we time.
Assignments vary by school, school district, sub-
ject and grade level.
Many educators believe that summer assign-
ments reinforce students reading skills and better
prepare them for the upcoming school year. They
say children learn best when instruction is contin-
uous, and summer vacations disrupt the rhythm of
instruction, requiring reviews of old material when
students return to school in the fall.
Tarsha Bowie was all too happy to comply with
her son Waymons first-grade reading assignment
from Wynbrooke.
I want to provide a solid foundation for my son,
Bowie said. The reading program will groom him
for first grade.
Summer assignments, however, dont sit well
with Vivian Williams, whose daughter is a rising
ninth-grader at Dunwoody High School. She has to
complete several assignments this summer, includ-
ing reading George Orwells 1984, preparing a
PowerPoint presentation and reading a Spanish
newspaper even though she has yet to meet her
teachers.
In the past, she had been required to read a book
or two, but I thought this was excessive, Williams
said.
Gary Huggins, CEO of the nonprofit National
Summer Learning Association in Baltimore, said
most children lose about two months of math skills

Hailey Samuel and her mother, Dana Samuel, read together at their home in Stone Mountain, Ga. Schools have
moved from giving students recommended reading lists for the summer to big projects.

drain on its website, www.rif.org. Here are some of

culture our boys are growing up
in, how men relate to their sons
often reinforces hypermasculin-
ity, Way says. Closeness with
their sons often entails going to
sports events and talking about
sports, which is fantastic. But it
doesnt necessarily entail emo-
tional connectedness, talking
about their emotional lives,
which is why its affecting their
friendships.
Thats what we do to our
boys, she says. We force them
to be not quite human, quite
frankly, by suppressing their
emotions.
Fathers along with mothers,
teachers, all of us, frankly have
a responsibility to foster and en-
courage connectedness and
emotional honesty in our boys.
Its possible to have good
friendships without talking
about themas much as girls do,
Thompson says with a laugh.
But you cant have friendship
without vulnerability. You have
to be able to let your guarddown
with somebody, and you have to
be able to trust that somebody is
going to look after you.
Thompson makes a plea to
dads: Model friendship for your
sons.
Take your sons and your
sons friends with you on camp-
ing trips with your own friends,
he says. Talk with them about
why youlike your buddies witha
little more depth than, Hes so
funny. He and I both like the Gi-
ants. Say a little bit more about
them.
Chances are, the chats will be
well-received.
Boys are crying out for male
attentioninour culture, says Li-
sa Bloom, author of Swagger:
10 Urgent Rules for Raising Boys
in an Era of Failing Schools,
Mass Joblessness and Thug Cul-
ture (Think Publications/Van-
tage Point). All kids today have
significantly fewer adults in
their lives than they did a gener-
ation ago: They have more sin-
gle parents, larger class sizes,
theyre less likely to go to a reli-
gious institution, guidance
counselors are being cut, school
nurses are being cut.
Fathers and other men who
want to play a role in kids lives
have a wonderful opportunity to
do so.
And the benefits are large and
lifelong. Better friends, after all,
make better brothers, fathers,
partners.
Any relationship that is mu-
tual and reciprocal and loving,
Thompson says, gives you prac-
tice for other relationships that
are mutual, reciprocal and lov-
ing.

each summer, and low-income
children lose an additional two
tothreemonths of readingskills.
And that loss can have a cumu-
lative effect. By ninth grade,
Huggins said, low-income
youths are more thanthree years
behind middle-income peers in
reading, due largely to summer
learning loss.
We invest so many resources
in helping kids achieve during
the school year that it just
doesnt make sense to let any
part of that investment slip
away, Huggins said.
Although some parents be-
lieve summer should be re-
served for having fun, Huggins
argues theres no reason to sacri-
fice fun for learning.
He suggests parents view
summer as an opportunity for
children to learn in a different
way than they do during the
school year.
Why not plan a family gar-
den, he said, andinthe process
have your kids calculate the nec-
essary area and perimeter for
planting, research which plants,
vegetables or flowers will thrive
in your garden spot, and work
with a budget to practice both
math and the skill of making
tough choices?
Citing a 2011 study by Rand
Corp., a nonprofit devotedtoim-
proving public policy, Huggins
said high-quality summer learn-
ing programs, along with infor-
mal learningapproaches, not on-
ly help students avoid summer
brain drain but boost achieve-
ment in some cases.

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am
39, married, and a
professional woman
with a good income.
My best friend,
Barbie, and I both
went to work after
high school without
completing our education. However,
after several years I decided to go to
college and get a degree so I could
change careers. My income has more
than doubled.
Barbie is obviously jealous of my
new life, which affords me opportuni-
ties to travel, take vacations, and have
the money to buy things I couldnt
afford before. She and her family
barely make ends meet. Although
we have been like sisters since child-
hood, I now feel as if I must walk on
eggshells around her guarding my
conversation lest I mention a new
purchase or having time off. If some-
thing does slip out, Barbie becomes
defensive and sarcastic.
Abby, I shouldnt have to apologize
for my new lifestyle. I worked hard to
make a change for myself. What can I
do? This is becoming difficult.
An example: We went shopping
last week. She bought nothing for
herself. I felt uncomfortable with my
purchases, even though they werent
extravagant. She made a comment to
the effect that it must be nice to be
able to buy something so frivolous.
I should mention that Barbies
parents are still willing to send her
through college or a tech school, even
at the age of 39, but she chooses not
to make the effort.
Tired of Feeling Apologetic
Dear Tired: When your friend com-
mented that it must be nice to be
able to buy something frivolous, you
had an opening to tell her that before
you earned your degree you couldnt
either, which was one of the reasons
you decided it was time to change
your life by returning to school.
As things stand, the nature of your
friendship with Barbie must change.
If the relationship is to continue, you
will have to forgo the shopping trips
together and any references to your
new lifestyle. Otherwise, they will
be perceived as bragging, and the
comparisons may be painful to her.
Be prepared to be sensitive to that, or
move on.
Dear Abby: I am the owner of a small
boutique. My only full-time employee
is everything an employer could ask
for. However, she often comes in look-
ing like she just crawled out of bed
and doesnt own an iron.
What can I say to help her become
more aware of her appearance? I dont
want to hurt her feelings.
Please help. Thank you.
Anne in Missouri
Dear Anne: You must be direct
with her. Explain that you expect
her to dress more carefully for work
because: 1. Her attire represents the
image of the shop, and 2. a salesper-
son who is sharply dressed inspires
customers to shop. Then tell her
EXACTLY what you expect from her,
and offer to help her coordinate some
outfits perhaps by giving her a dis-
count on items from the store.
If that doesnt work, consider put-
ting together a uniform for her to
wear when shes working. Its what
some of the top designers have done
in their stores.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Womans successful career change has soured a longtime friendship
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). At
moments today youll feel like
youre in a movie and will find
yourself looking around for
the camera. But dont be self-
conscious.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Its
good to sometimes be involved
in helping others or fixing their
problems. But if things dont
feel right when youre not help-
ing, theres a bigger problem to
handle.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Pet
peeves have a way of growing
from Chihuahuas into Great
Danes. Smile and keep little
annoyances on a short leash.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be
aware of what you can do to
affect your distant future. A few
timely measures made over the
course of the next six weeks will
make a remarkable difference in
where you stand five years
from now.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Unfinished
business is simply love that
hasnt been put in motion yet.
Give your love. When youre feel-
ing afraid, its a signal that you
have more love to give, and you
should do so ASAP.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There
are knowledgeable people
around you. You will be actively
learning and taking the notes to
prove it. Youll need this informa-
tion later, so be sure to keep it in
an accessible place.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whatever
mood youre in, youll get more
of the same. So the ability to
change an uncomfortable mood
or raise a neutral one to some-
thing cheerful will be the key to
your well-being.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Seize
the day but not too hard.
Clinging will restrict the flow of
spontaneity that makes your
time so engaging.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
The Norse deity Thor threw his
hammer and caused lightning
and thunder. Someone you know
has an equally intimidating tem-
per, but you have a way of neu-
tralizing this persons negative
powers.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Others may upset your time-
table. They are not intentionally
trying to mess you up; its just
that their needs dont fit nicely
into the schedule. Youll rise to
the challenge by staying flexible
and positive.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Usually its not about the money.
Your other interests have to be
fulfilled before a dollar amount
matters to you. This wont be
the case now, though. A dollar
amount will be crucial to your
satisfaction.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Theres
a certain urgency to your work
objectives. A job must be done
right and done quickly. You have
a short amount of time to get
things up to speed and on track.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July 5). The
guidance you seek shows up in
the next five weeks. Youll know
what youre supposed to be
doing, and youll follow through
with it. This month features
exciting dates. An investment
brings easy profit in November.
March is educational. Aries and
Scorpio people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 9, 25, 49, 15
and 18.
